2027 Specialized Epic 9 Comp Carbon

The Lightest, Fastest, Most Capable XC Race Bike Ever

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, realize Frameset Frame FACT 11m Carbon, Progressive XC Race Geometry, Rider-First Engineered™, threaded BB, 12x148mm UDH compatible rear dropout, internal cable routing, 120mm of travel, Optimized for wireless drivetrain SWAT SWAT BOX 2.0 ASSY Seat Binder Specialized Alloy 34.9, Steel Bolt Suspension Fork RockShox SID Select, Ride Dynamics developed 3 position, Debon Air, 15x110mm, 44mm offset, 120mm Travel Rear Shock RockShox SIDLuxe Select , Ride Dynamics developed 3 position, TwistLoc remote adjust, Solo Air, 190x45mm Brakes Rear Brake SRAM Motive Bronze, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 160mm rotor Front Brake SRAM Motive Bronze, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 180mm rotor Drivetrain Cassette SRAM 12-speed,10-52t Chain SRAM 70 Transmission 12-Speed Flattop Chain Shift Levers SRAM AXS POD Controller Bottom Bracket SRAM DUB Threaded Wide Rear Derailleur SRAM S1000 Eagle AXS Crankset SRAM S1000 Eagle, DUB, SM:165mm, M-XL:170mm, 34T Wheels & Tires Rear Hub Alloy, sealed cartridge bearings, 12x148mm thru-axle, 32h Spokes DT Swiss Elemental Rear Tire Specialized Air Trak, Flex Lite Casing, T5/T7 Compound, 29x2.35 Rims Specialized Alloy 29, 27mm internal width, tubeless Front Tire Specialized Fast Trak, Flex Lite Casing, T5/T7 Compound, 29x2.35 Inner Tubes Specialized Turbo Tube 48MM Presta valve, 29x1.75/2.4 Front Hub Specialized alloy front hub disc, sealed cardridge bearings, 6-bolt, 15x110mm thru-axle, 32h Cockpit Saddle Body Geometry Power Comp, chrome alloy rails Stem Roval Alloy XC 2-bolt stem, 60mm/70mm Grips SRAM Slip on with Twist-Loc Handlebars Specialized Alloy Minirise, 10mm rise, 750mm, 35mm clamp Seatpost X-Fusion Manic, 30.9, SM: 125mm, M: 150mm, L-XL: 170mm Travel, 0mm offset Product ID 274034 Weight Weight 11.78 kg (25 lb, 15.5 oz) Weight Size MD
