Post by: ilyamaksimov on October 05, 2023, 02:17:08 AM: I accidentally came across a copy of the new Specialized Epic World Cup frame.

I don’t know for sure, but as far as I can understand, the Chinese will make their own shock absorber for this frame

this is good, but the frame is still heavy and the shock absorber is without sag and locking... but if there are anyone willing to try this frame, I’ll read their experience with interest :)

Post by: Skiesare on January 09, 2024, 01:26:39 AM: I've been looking at this myself. The seller I contacted only said that it came with the rear shock, but the ones in the picture look exactly like the original without stickers. The seller, Antony Bicycle Frame Store, seemed a bit more expensive that others who were selling it, but so far no-one has given feed back.

Post by: ftajiri on January 09, 2024, 07:25:49 AM: for me, it is a simple shock in exactly size of wcid wihtut the functions... the wcid is the soul of spz wc .... the ordinary shock will transforms this frame in wooble bike

Post by: Skiesare on January 09, 2024, 11:35:38 AM: Upon closer inspection, and watching Specialized's video, it's not the same shock. Of course, it could be very good.
Much of what makes the WC so special is the custom suspension and it's tune ability. Of course, you pay a lot for it.

Post by: Silverado123 on May 10, 2024, 05:22:07 AM: So who has one of these? Is there a better, more active page for this model? I'm really curious to see how these are in the real world.
