Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the RockShox SID LUXE ULTIMATE rear shock model, which has a travel of 110mm. Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels size

Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The S-Works Epic EVO comes with Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.

Dropper post
The Specialized model is also equipped with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
