Epic 2018-2020

This BikeYoke allows the use of a standard shock without the Brain system in your Specialized Epic frame.

For questions regarding compatibility, please check the pdf-documents!

one set includes:
1x BikeYoke EP02
1x DU bushing
1x reducer
1x stainless steel bolt

The original setup with Brain system weights about 555g (may vary by frame size).


When using a BikeYoke (~90g) and an X-Fusion Microlite RL shock (~215g), it will save you about 250g. 



Important information:
The frame design of Specialized Epic allows shocks with only a small diameter air can, as you can see by your original shock.
Be aware, that not every shock available on the aftermarket will be compatible with your frame! The smaller the frame size, the tighter the fit and the smaller the available space. 

We recommend the use of X-Fusion Microlite RL shock or a similarly small shock. For the Epics you should get a shock with the air can diameter as small as possiblle, otherwise it might not fit. For the X-Fusion Microlite we can guarantee clearence on all currently available frame sizes, - even XS - throughout the full travel/stroke of the shock.  

In case you want to use a different shock, you will carefully need to check for proper clearence in your Epic frame throughout the whole stroke of your shock and rear wheel travel!
Below you can see a shock, that is clear to the frame in fully extened state, but as you compress the shock, the linkage will move the shock towards the upper tube and cause collision. In this case this shock can not be used.
