About the build

At 1.29 stack-to-reach, the position leans low and stretched for a mountain bike. The biggest component contrast is between the frame and the drivetrain — Performance- vs. Core-tier. Full SRAM across the drivetrain for a clean, uniform setup. The price is among the lowest for mountain bikes with a comparable component level.

Worth knowing
  • 4 sizes, reach from 420 to 505 mm
  • 2,35" tyres

Manufacturer's description

Epic 9 repræsenterer 24 års vindende XC-innovation, destilleret til den hurtigste racercykel i verden.Vi startede med Epic 8's verdensførende benchmark. Derefter fjernede vi det, der holdt den tilbage. 206 gram er væk, hvilket gør Epic 9 til den letteste fuldaffjedrede XC-racercykel på kloden.Derefter reducerede vi affjedringsfriktionen med 11 % og raffinerede kinematikken. Resultatet: uovertruffen effektivitet, kapacitet og hastighed pr. watt.Hastighed opstår som det naturlige resultat af en cykel, der er så integreret omkring rytteren, at den forsvinder og giver plads til realisering af rytterens fulde potentiale.
