INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the finest line of suspension bikes available! About Off Road, Stunt, Downhill and Freeriding This manual is designed to be used in conjunction with the Bicycle Owner’s Manual and owner’s manuals supplied by the manufacturer of the front and rear suspension components. If you did not receive any of these manuals, download them from the Internet, contact your dealer, or contact us by telephone.
INTRODUCTION Here is what you should look for when you inspect your bicycle for this type of riding: bent or broken components, such as the handlebar, handlebar stem, seatpost, pedals; dents, cracks, scratches, deformation, or discoloration. Because damage may be internal and hidden, if any of these signs are present, stop riding until your bicycle has been thoroughly inspected by your Specialized dealer.
Service and Modifications INTRODUCTION Technological advances have made bicycles and bicycle components more complex, and the pace of innovation is increasing. It is impossible for this manual or the accompanying manuals to provide all of the information required to properly repair and/or maintain your bicycle. In order to help minimize the chances of an injury, it is critical for you to have work performed by an authorized Specialized retailer.

EPIC / ERA REAR SHOCK SETUP 1. Set sag: • See the attached air chart for starting pressure. Use a high-pressure shock pump to add air. • Turn the Brain Fade knob (3) counter-clockwise to allow the shock to sag more easily. • Push the o-ring up to the seal, sit on/dismount the bike gently, measure the distance between the shock seal and the o-ring (sag). • Adjust air pressure until the desired sag is reached (verify following the steps on page 6 or the measurements below the air chart).

This installation and care guide contains instructions and warnings, plus torque specifications. Assembling a complete bicycle is a complicated task requiring training and experience, only a trained and experienced bicycle mechanic should install components to this frame.
WARNING! Do not extend seat post above the minimum insertion line. Extension beyond the minimum insertion line can result in failure, causing serious injury or death. WARNING! Do not pull down on downtube derailleur cables to pre-stress the cables. This can cause damage to the cable guides.
