We grabbed Olympic Gold medalist, Czech national champion and current UCI Mountain Bike Marathon World Champion Jaroslav Kulhavy’s Specialized S Works Epic World Cup for a quick once over straight after the Roc d’Azur marathon.
Although fairly stock the bike has a very nice and custom paint splatter paint job. Have you checked out that saddle angle?
There’s some serious slamming going on with the stem to get a long and low pedalling stance going on. ESI grips are an XC racers favourite for weight saving and comfort.
With a good width of bar and SRAM Guide brakes chosen in favour of lighter XX offerings.
Brain internals are a Specialized speciality.
For Roc the RS1’s have been swapped out for a more conventional SID.
Also different to his Meribel set up, he wasn’t running a Quark XX1 powermeter.
A SWAT MTB XC kit carries all the self sufficiency essentials.
And is that an X01 cassette matched to XX1 everything else?
Renegade 1.95 tyres for speed.

If that were on eBay some one would star a thread ripping the pee out the bar and saddle position.
Wrong, wrong just all wrong….and yet is it us or him that has it wrong….I’d probably guess he’s a little faster than what I am ahem….
Yep, it looks so wrong but you can’t argue with the guys results.
“you can’t argue with the guys results.”
Other than his sperm count results, 5 minutes on that saddle and I’d be as sterile as a mule
Maybe he would be even quicker, if he set his damn bike up properly!!! 😉
Look fast. But he can’t beat Nino Schurter on the downhill and in entertainment of riding.
custom splatter paint finish , just like my Kona Cindercone was back 1988.
That saddle wouldn’t get past a UCI Commissaire!
