Fit
Ensuring that your Epic is properly fit to you is an important step in preparing for your first ride. Your Authorized Specialized Retailer will be able to provide a basic fit, ensuring that you are able to ride your Epic comfortably and efficiently. With the progressive geometry of the Epic, your fit may not transfer over from your last bike. Specialized also offers Retül Fit, a data-driven bicycle fitting tool designed to improve comfort, prevent injury, and increase performance.
