Hi,

Does anyone see the Speci Epic Evo Clone on aliexpress?

I've seen these since few days, there are many vendors of the same frame. Origin is completely unknown to me, looks good anyway but I'm not an expert. I would stick with open mould rather than clones.

specialized already working in a new version for epic... maybe 2021 model gonna die in near future..

looking at the linkage I'd say it's closer to Epic geometry that the evo.. I'd suspect a nice low leverage ratio.

its not EVO, its normal epic frame. for this frame you will need to buy a shock absorber with a brain

Do you? It's quite popular for people to remove the brain once it is in need of service.. I couldn't see myself dropping the coin for it.

Jeez, Specialized has enough issues with yoke alignment and shock longevity that I really wouldn't be interested in a chiner running the same system. Looks brilliant but a pass from me!

Someone already ordered one or is planning to?

I see that on aliexpress there are customer reviews for this frame. Is there anyone here who has already bought it and can give a detailed review of the frame? About the quality of aluminum parts, bolts, link...

There is an EVO version available on eBay:

Can be purchased with a regular 190x40 shock mount.

Not sure, but probably. I prefer dealing with eBay vs AliEx
