Jay's Specialized Epic

The Epic weighs in at 33 pounds and is a great cross country ride that climbs like no other full suspension bike

It has an air sprung, oil damped 80mm suspension fork and hydraulic disc brakes

Most mountain bike handlebars are now shaped instead of straight, these are carbon fiber to save weight

The rear suspension is the key, the vertical cylinder is what senses the bumps and controls the air sprung shock

I've moved to a larger Crank Bros. pedal since my accident so I can stay unclipped if I need to
