Trail-worthy, meet drool-worthy. Perfect, now that introductions are out of the way, lets do our best to try and grasp the fact that the Epic EVO Pro manages to channel the Epics standard-setting pedaling efficiency while delivering jaw-dropping on-trail capabilityand look darn good doing it.
While the Epic EVO sees a seemingly modest 20-millimeter increase in suspension travel up front over its Epic stablemate and just 10-millimeters out back, weve worked overtime to make sure its been implemented in a way thatll have you saying Whoa! as soon as you hit your first stretch of singletrack.
Meticulously engineered to retain as much of the Epics standard-setting efficiency as possible, the EVOs new suspension kinematics work in concert with Rx XC Tune customized suspension front and rear to ensure youre able to make the absolute most out of every inch of travel on tap, while still offering increased anti-squat characteristics for improved pedaling efficiency.
With plenty of practice at staying ahead of the curve, the Epic EVO now lays claim to the most capable iteration of our Progressive XC Geometry ever to grace an Epic. Its also more versatile than ever thanks to a new flip chip-equipped rear end that allows riders to adjust headtube angle and bottom bracket height to easily customize Epic EVOs handling characteristics.
Dressed to impress, the Epic EVO Pro sports top-shelf Fox Factory suspension front and rear to keep things poised when the going gets rough, while the silky shifts and rock-solid performance of SRAMs 12-speed X01 Eagle AXS group will never go out of style.
Descending from a long World Cup lineage, hand-built Roval Control Carbon wheels feature a modern 29-millimeter internal-width hookless rim and straight-pull DT Swiss 350 hubs to maximize strength, ride quality, and durability while keeping weight to a minimum.
Flip It To Rip It: Tune the ride of the Epic EVOs FACT 11m carbon frame to match your preferred handling characteristics with flip-chip simplicity that allows riders to reduce the EVOs headtube angle by half a degree while lowering bottom bracket height by 10 millimeters.
Pairing the all-new FOX FLOAT 34 Factory’s lightweight chassis with the Fit4 damper’s impressive control and on-the-fly compression adjustment makes for a fork with impressive performance both climbing and descending, making it a perfect match for the Epic EVO.
The X01 Eagle AXS groupset utilizes the proven backbone of SRAM 1x, 520-percent gear range, a more secure and longer-wearing X-Sync 2 chainring, and the resilience of an aluminum cage paired with the connected components of Eagle AXS.
