Frenchman Victor Koretzky has been one of the bikers with the best end to the season, as evidenced by his multiple World Cup victories and his triumph at the Paris Event Test. It was there that we saw him win with the new Specialized Epic WC, a "short rear travel" mountain bike that Specialized presented this year and that could be key in the next Olympic Games in Paris 2024 after seeing the Frenchman win with it on the Olympic circuit.

Victor Koretzky's S-Works Epic WC, won with it at the Paris Event Test and was on the Snowshoe (USA) and Mont Saint Anne (Canada) circuits.

Victor Koretzky's Specialized Epic World Cup in detail

The Specialized Epic WC was launched in 2023 as a mountain bike that combines the best of a hardtail, lightness and reactivity, with the best of a full suspension, absorption and traction. It is a very special bike with a very special shock with only 75mm of travel that has been developed specifically by RockShox.

The Epic WC returns to the XCO aesthetics and philosophy, lightness and reactivity.

But above all, this bike represents a 180º turn in the current paradigm of XCO bikes and instead of following the trend of increasingly larger rear travels, it opts for just the opposite. Something that Trek already advanced with its Supercaliber model and that curiously seemed to work to perfection on the circuit where the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will be held, as Victor Koretzky took the victory with his Epic WC and Anton Cooper was second on his new Supercaliber 2024.
