The Epic 9 combines 24 years of successful XC innovation into the fastest race bike in the world.
We started with the world’s best Epic 8 as a baseline. Then we removed everything that held it back. 206 grams less weight – the Epic 9 is now the lightest full-suspension XC race bike in the world.
Next, we reduced suspension friction by 11% and optimized the kinematics. The result: unmatched efficiency, performance, and speed per watt.
Speed comes naturally from a bike that is so perfectly tuned to the rider that it becomes almost invisible, allowing only the rider's full potential to shine through.
