Epic 9 represents 24 years of winning XC innovation, distilled into the fastest race bike in the world. We started with Epic 8’s world-beating benchmark. Then removed what held it back. 206 grams gone, making Epic 9 the lightest full-suspension XC race bike on the planet. Then we cut suspension friction by 11% and refined the kinematics. The result: unmatched efficiency, capability, and speed per watt. Speed emerges as the natural outcome of a bike so seamlessly integrated around the rider that it disappears, leaving only the rider’s full potential, realized.
