Specialized Epic Pro 2021 - First ride look with Chipps

[@nickcummins3084]

23lbs is just astonishing!

[@jeffbrunton3291]

decided I want this when I read that it has a threaded BB

[@smattgoss]

What's the problem with that ???

[@allangrant1326]

The brake lines need a good tidy up

[@smattgoss]

Really ???

[@josephdunbar2105]

My 2019 Epic SWorks weighs 21.9 lbs with flat pedals and 2 cages. I’m good where I’m at.

[@svtrader]

So why did they get rid of the Horst link?

[@nl3712]

To get the frame weight down

[@MTBMOR]

This bike looks sick! I have an older epic with the brain. I have channel with trails in Southern California. I'd love to get some feedback.

[@ChippsChippendale]

It IS sick. It still has the Brain...

[@laderamtb3684]

It doesn’t look like ur riding ur epic much..The new epic looks more aggressive that the older ones

[@ChippsChippendale]

@@laderamtb3684 It's way more aggressive - from a 69.5° head angle to a 67.5° head angle now... It's seriously burly for an XC bike.

[@smattgoss]

Evo is the more aggressive one

[@msm624]

Only on opposite day

[@smattgoss]

@@msm624 what?

[@msm624]

Evo is not the more aggressive xc version

[@smattgoss]

@@msm624 yeah ok PMSL

[@msm624]

@@smattgoss lol. Evo is a hybrid bike between xc and trail... is not a full xc bike. "Aggressive" in xc terms means steep head angles, tons of seat post and slammed stems. Think aggressive xc racing, not aggressive descending .

[@jtc168]

Price?

[@v0ldy54]

Too much

[@garrettnalle6949]

Like 7500 idk too much smh

[@natgeoba7377]

Specialized.com mate

[@josephdunbar2105]

jtc168 your left nut..that’s how much

[@AustinPetDetective]

Wonderful, but the price of these bikes are getting out of control, and out of the reach of the average person, unless you either rob a bank or win the Lotto ?

[@surfinwaves4769]

AustinPetDetective so what do people think of the new 2021 Chisel - similar geometry, no brain, lightest alloy frame said to be based on Epic, but budget price? Is it worth considering?

I've been riding mountain bike since 1994, I've always been a Specialized fan. I've had many Specialized bikes during my life Rockhopper, Sworks Epic, Camber, Stumpjumper without any issues until now. This Saturday 7/11/2021 I bought an Sworks Epic and an Epic Pro 2021 for and me and my son, I set up the suspension air pressure and rebound according to Specialized suspension calculator and on the very first ride the Epic Pro rear Brain suspension completely fail. Firstly, the suspension everytime it activates the shock makes strangest sounds, not the regular sounds that the Sworks makes. Secondly, all the time even on soft setting you feels the clunk on the rear shock continuously. After that ride the Brain stays on soft setting even if it's on the firm setting. After spending Thousands of dollars on Specialized bikes now I have a new out of the shop bike that doesn't work. That's why I am so infuriated and deceptionated, because after all promotion and marketing THAT YOU GUYS presented of the new Brain that is "SO MUCH BETTER, MORE DURABLE". How it's possible that after one ride it's already broken? After so much wait for the bicycles now I have a broken bicycle that I can't use and have to wait you guys decide when to fixed and when you guys do it I will have TWO bicycles with a suspension flaw design and with no warranty that it will survive your claim life duration of the brain. If this happen after ONE ride, how am I going to be sure that it's going to last for years. I'm regretfully of wasting my money on this bike on false marketing with a flaw suspension system, this will be my last Specialized products.

why are you pasting this in every comment section go to your dealer

@@jackalexander7069 because he paid too much to have this kind of problem with it. I'd do the same in his shoes.

Daniel R. in order to actually fix the issue or get a refund he’s gotta go to them with that case

[@TechWiz1983]

@@jackalexander7069 I'm sure he's aware of that just like everyone is aware that breathing is required for humans to live. He's warning others to not waste $ on something that doesn't work as advertised. You seem to be blind to something very obvious. Smh.

I RATHER BUY A DIRT BIKE SIMILAR PRICE, JUST MY OPINION!!

[@quinnfranchina6876]

Good for you. You probably dont know why bikes are so expensive.

[@royalewithcheese5639]

Why am i watching this?...i can never afford this bike😂

[@AustinPetDetective]

Thinking the same thing, how can the average person ever afford this bike.
