Bike Build | 2019 Specialized S-Works Epic Hardtail

- Most bike builds call for a cold beer. However, with a bike of this caliber, we felt it deserved something shaken, not stirred. Check out Tim's new 2019 S-Works Epic Ht that sits around 22lbs in a size XL. Tim wanted something that was light, fast, and also felt at home on descents. On top of a KS LEV Ci dropper post and a 780mm wide Enve M6 handlbar, we went with a 120mm Fox Factory 34 Step-Cast fork which put his head tube angle at 68.8°. This bike is a rocket no matter which way you point it.

That fox fork worth more than my bike😂😂😂
thats sad...
Same
My bike is 600$
I have fox 34!
It's the sad truth
That geometry 😂😂
you put a fox 34 on a cross country frame. would be more suited to somthing like a rockshox sid or 32 stepcast. still a nice bike though
its a 34 step cast so it's like half a pound heavier than the 32 sc
Thats stepcast 34,(120mm travel) its still good for xc🙄🙄🙄
Slammed stem and it would have been 10/10 🤩
I agreeeeeee
Those grips just destroyed the whole build
František Smolík this guys don’t know about xc bike looks alike..
Klid Franto neni to sjezdak ani enduro prostě xc
Zamzam Par i think he will not use this in a race that build looks like more on adventure or like just having fun and not being competitive
One day , I will own that bike Amen 🙂
for a hardtail I would have kept the sworks fasttrak for the tires, roval rims, and full xx1, why would you pick all this enduro stuff...
for fun (also a fox 34 step cast is very much trail xc), sounds like they want a fun but fast hardtail, I run a 120mm fork on my xc bike and it's great
Considering the fact that I own the specialized epic expert and a stump jumper FSR trail and they each have their own purpose on the trail. I don’t understand why they’re turning a cross country race bike with the trails spec it’s basically a trail bike on a strict diet. Which a trail bike will do that duty so much better. But it just goes to show you that the confidence that this bike is built so well that it can be pushed to the limit of trail riding. When you watch a cross country race they do some pretty gnarly stuff they have to ride through
I was about to sell my Epic HT because it just seemed too skittish with a 100 fork and low stem height. Instead I put on a Fox 34 SC and some riser bars and the bike is completely transformed - way more confident and fun to ride. Is it faster? Maybe not. But even on race day (if those come back...lol), I might keep this configuration just because it's that much more satisfying to ride. Nothing wrong with a super light and super confident bike.
nice build shaken not stirred!
That DDS is getting a sweet bike.
Not everybody on a fancy bike is a dentist. I farm
Just most of them.
I thought Specialized fortunately moved away from press fit bottom bracket and go back to threaded but this 2019 epic is press fit? what a shame.. epic out of the list.
I like how in my shop we don't have to use rags on the work stand clamps...
Very nice
Beautiful build and video - but confused on one point - Seems you routed the rear brake hose after the BB was installed? Asking because I need to replace the hose on my s works frame. Is there some sort of internal channel?
😂that seat post is better then my bike😂
Nice channel
I can't knock a guy for building a bike using the bits he wants to use. Jeez, I've built a ton of them.
Nice vidéo.
Good job, its a good bike
👍🏼
What a bike build man!!!!
Nice 👍 work
A única coisa que eu posso comprar desse video é a azeitona!
Awesome bike 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Damn, that frameset looks so "simple", personally i don't like the S-works framesets. Btw nice specs!
34 fork, riser handlebars... Why? Epic is not made for trail HT. 🤔
Nice video 😍
Nice video 👍
Building an Epic HT and struggling with the provided hardware for the internal cable routing for mechanical rear shifting. I have silver metal cable guides and little plastic sleeves; what goes where?
nice
What’s up with that stem?
Hey Justin is that the ENVE 65mm stem? Would you consider going any shorter on this bike? I have the 2020 Specialized HT (Expert) and want to basically mirror this build... New Fox 34SC on order and just added ENVE bars... Love it!
I like running short stems (35mm-50mm), but it can be really rider-specific. You’ll be happy if you mirror this build, it turned out super nice!
pls help can i put a 2by system for the front? cuz i am not so sure about it
You can not do to win these bikes ?
On build like that, wouldnt it be more convenient to use remote lever fork, or even better, terralogic damper?
Definitely more convenient. Although, this customer isn’t a racer so they haven’t voiced any issues with the current setup. I’ll definitely mention it next time they come in. Thanks for commenting!
Love the video automatic subscribed hopw u make more❤️
No grease why???
Nice video!
In my opnion, the S-Works Epic Ht frameset looks very simple for that price, I prefer something with more "design" like the Ghost Lector World Cup.
I wanna build my own bike with you man. Youre awesome!!
Ohhh coisa linda!
what size of C BEAR you use?
How much does it costs??♡♡♡
epic video :)
Bike top!!!
Im your the biggest fan of your
cade o peso???? what the weight????
Going to have to agree with some of the opinions on here. This is a race pony. What's up with the trail mix?😂
Nice
Shimano center lock rings :p
Mejor una Fox 32 le pondría yo. Igual quedó mortal esa bicicleta cuánto pesa??
Creo que el 34 la convierte en una bici de XC un poco más capaz, a final de cuentas son como 238 gramos más entre uno y el otro.
Can help me price ??? $$$
Brasil
Good
Took me a second to realize why he was using a pipe cutter on the steerer...Forgot it was a Fox and they're still stuck in 2003 with aluminum crowns and steerers.
what's that plastic piece you attache to the tube at 02:00 ?
luisotube it’s a bump stop to protect the fork from damaging the frame in the case of a crash.
@@JustinVelo ah ok thanks
Do a fuji Nevada build
What dropper post are you using for this?
Vince Sanchez it’s a KS LEV Ci 27.2 x 120mm
Justin Velo is that just internally routed? Or there’s a external?
Vince Sanchez it’s internal.
Justin Velo okay thank you bro
my birthday wish🥺
Que piola
What is the name of the accessory at 2:03?
fernando waschburger It comes with the bike and only works with that bike
This is a plastic bumper that protects the down tube from the fork crowns. It comes with the bike. I don't think the 2020 model has this. Neither does the chisel for full suspension version of the epic.
So funny I was waiting for when he open the brakes to just throw them in the trash...
I have no idea why they would install those on that bike...
Know the weight of this rig?
22 lbs
Never touched fox suspension never touched carbon frame or even cockpit but the worse of all i cannot even ride my bike in the way i like
Why always 160 mm Brake ??It´s smokes😁😁😁
Everything brand new in packaging. Half the population could do that blindfolded with all those tools. Try building one with fewer tools and good used parts with half the budget.
Next time a customer comes in asking to build a top-of-the-line bike, I'll make sure to down-sell them into a used bike and subsequently get rid of most of my tools. Good call, buddy.
PSA: SRAM Dot fluid is carcinogenic and should not come into contact with your skin, especially if you are a mechanic and it happens often. (Causes cancer)
I'd love to see the info backing the "carcinogenic", as the safety data sheet for DOT mentioned "non-carcinogenic" and only "irritative for skin and eyes".
Finland Apollo that’s interesting. Someone I work with who went to SRAM school told me this. Where can I find the msds?
I believe SRAM dot fluid polypropylene based not mineral based which allows it to have a much higher boiling point. So yes it is not safe to touch. You should be wearing gloves when handling hydraulic fluid anyways.
I Want your Bike....
Break it down
I need one 😫
Fox 34?????? Naaaaa
ikr most likely its an trail xc
He also put on guide brakes.
Fox 34 Naaa, Sram Guide ya anytime.
Can i please get that bike i really need it am using a 90 dollar bike from walmart and the thread stem is braking
Caña y dirección no aptas para esta bici.
Por que ?
@@cristoverdadpresente es una bici para competición, caña con una inclinación más agresiva y dirección derecha.
No creo que haya sido un equivocación, esto no está hecho para ganar (ni siquiera correr en) una carrera de XC. Esto es un ‘experimento’ que trata de convertir una bici de competición en en una Trail, All Mountain light, o algo así. Una bici ligera y divertida, con la que luego puedas pasarte un poco (o todo lo que te atrevas), bajando. En la reseña del principio dice que le ha quitado un grado al tubo de la dirección con el aumento de recorrido de la horquilla. Espero que le haya salido bien xq es un experimento muy caro.... 😅
P.D. Yo estoy pensando en algo parecido, pero con el cuadro de otra marca, y en aluminio. Mi presupuesto es mucho más modesto...
Dude this is supposed to be an xc bike
5.000 subscriptions with no videos Research the Epic Evo.
@@JustinVelo this is definitely not an evo
@@subscriptionswithnovideos 120mm Fork (check)
Dropper Seatpost (check)
Wide Handlebars (check)
Larger 2.2/2.35 Tires (check)
Those are literally the exact specs that differentiate and standard Epic and and Epic Evo.
Here's a direct quote from Specialized explaining what makes the Evo different: "You're going to find a fork with 120mm of travel, a dropper post, wider bars, and meatier tires, so you'll get some much-needed control when you’re redlining it..."
But you're right, definitely not an Evo.
Hmmm....nope, doesn't do it for me.
I’ll buy this bikr from you.....$1000.00
Brad Griffith try about 10000-11000 buddy
@@dirtroadie4642 in that case, I want an engine in it and leather seats 🤣
$1000 won't even get you those wheels.
All black chain with an oil slick quick link 🤢🤢
There is no cycle like this in india so please send it to me please please please please please please
Buy ur own
That frame looks like it came straight from a 150$ department store bike...
Jealous much?
lol u salty?
Fox 34..no way for the geometry of this frame..
Have you checked out the Epic Evo lineup for 2019 models? All have a120mm fork out of the box. The idea is to bridge the gap between traditional XC geometry and trail geometry. This is simply the hardtail version of the same bike. By the way, the S-Works Epic Evo is stocked with a Fox 34.
@@JustinVelo You're right, anyway I do not like what the bicycle looks like. Greetings from Colombia. 😁👍
Unless you are chasing world cup wins (and even then for some people) a 120 fork is just as fast as a 100 and in most cases, if not all, a lot more capable.
Come on man.. fox 34 on epic? 60mm stem? Low rise handlebar? U destroy the race machine.. RS SID is better.. 90mm stem with +/- 17° , 720mm backsweep 8-9°.. ergon wings grips? Why don’t u just put esi grips on it. it’ll be looks like what race machine is. U must see anika’s bike.
At the end, that’s ur bike anyway..
the frame is designed for XC. not enduro. disliked.
Yes, because enduro riders spec their bikes with 120mm forks. Good call.
@@JustinVelo who said anything about forks?
@@malayneum Not sure what the criticism is then. The bike was intentionally built as a gap filler between XC and Trail, much like the stock Specialized Epic Evo. This seems difficult for people to wrap their heads around, but not every rider is seeking the exact same, restrictions apply bicycle.
Pls give it to mee 😔
@anonymous really 😱
@anonymous oh thank you 😊😊😊😊😊
Send me I'll wait 😀
Warning you can't afford this bike 🤣🤣
Why? It`s normal S-works, isn`t expensive...Eagle, Enve, no tuning...normal stuff.
I'm doctor, never touch your skin with that brake fluid. Consequences can be teribble.
you're a lousy doctor
frog ilicious how is that being lousy
Using the brakes can be just as bad...
