Is the 2023 Specialized Epic World Cup the best new mountain bike of 2023? Is it just a Trek Supercaliber? If you have an old Epic, is it time to upgrade to the new Epic from a traditional full suspension Epic, Epic Evo or Epic hardtail?
I'll share my thoughts after getting a first look at Sea Otter, which had some of the best new bike tech of 2023.
