its weird when you look at the linkage and how the rear shock connection to the seat stays is a straight line to the shock for both the 2020 evo and the 2021 epic.

the epic running a 52.5mm stroke getting 100mm stated travel

the evo running a 51mm stroke shock getting 110mm travel

how is this possible?  I'm guessing the longer chainstay 433 vs 438 increases the leverage ratio?

could anyone verify the actual chain stay length on this frame stated length appears to be 438.


thanks for the tip about making a 190mm x 40mm lux into a 45mm thats nice since thats the shock i ordered :)

Yup, this one is almost a “hybrid” of both: the Epic’s structure, but the EVO’s standard linkage style. I’m guessing it’s because they didn’t want to add an additional set of bearings, and/or deal with the additional rear triangle flex and fatigue. It’s probably cheaper to keep it Epic rather than try to emulate the technology / carbon layup of the EVO.

compared to carbonda fm 936 epic hardtail from sp-cycle soft as macaroni...

My previous hardtail was 2015 epic copy from Workswell. And it had very stiff BB. SP-Cycle epic is very soft, so true.

no offtopic: photo evo clone form another side :)

Re: Epic Evo Clone My frame from All Star Cycling (AWST) has arrived!

I also had them send their 0 offset seatpost, i’m going to try that for some time.

Photos attached. Paint finish is pretty good! 2 knocks, first is that the paint is too high up for my seatpost clamp. I’ll have to sand/shave that down. Second downside I see is the rear rotor is SCARY close to my rear brake mount. Like, less than a mm. Frame weight with hardware attached is 1920 grams. For the color and finish, I can’t complain! unfortunately, shock hardware is pretty irrelevant to what I need. I’ll follow up with the correct size and where to procure.

I did also order an Epic Evo chainstay protector, headtube cable port rubber grommet, and the mylar tape for the down tube from my local Specialized dealer.

Frame finally showed up. Looks good to me!

Awesome, join the club!! Now let’s get you some real spacers lol.

I’m think the best pick for this set are the IGUS bushing sets that can found on Aliexpress. MUQZI makes an 8mm x 22mm that need to be sanded down to fit.

Alternatively, Fox does make a 8x20mm IGUS kit.
