Epic 9 Expert
Built on 24 years of XC winning innovation, the Epic 9 is the fastest race bike in the world. We took the benchmark Epic 8 and stripped away every barrier, shedding 206 grams to create the lightest full-suspension machine on the planet. By cutting suspension friction by 11% and refining kinematics, we’ve achieved unmatched efficiency and speed per watt. The result is a bike so seamlessly integrated that it disappears beneath you, leaving only your full potential, realized.
