I've got one, it's done the black mountains, Afan, hamsterly DH local trails etc, it's a great bike, plus I'm over the 100kg mark!! 😆

Roughest thing ive done is jacobs ladder on my 2006 enduro.
Will the epic handle stuff like that?

I say it would mate but I've not ridden Jacobs ladder but it's done everything I've asked

With out sounding like a nobber, I think the bike will get down anything it depends on the rider? But it may be slower rougher require different lines than a longer travel bike but it is a lot faster else where TBH, if I can survive on it I'm sure you'll be fine!!

The epic is a xc bike, it's a racy handling bike. I love mine It's a rocket, but it's a 100mm travel bike, wasn't the enduro 150mm? So it's not ideal for hitting 20ft gap jumps.

Book a demo mate and see I think the Specialized concept stores and shops can get you one, Itested mine at a demo at Cannock.
