2027 Specialized Epic 9 Pro 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 ULTIMATE Flight Attendant, Ride Dynamics developed 3 position, Debon Air, 15x110mm, 44mm offset, 120mm Travel Rear Shock RockShox SIDLuxe ULTIMATE Flight Attendant, Ride Dynamics developed 3 position, Solo Air, 190x45mm Brakes Rear Brake SRAM Motive Silver, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 160mm rotor Front Brake SRAM Motive Silver, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 180mm rotor Drivetrain Crankset SRAM / Quarq XO Eagle Power Meter Crankset, DUB SM:165mm, M-XL:170mm, 34T Shift Levers SRAM AXS POD Controller Bottom Bracket SRAM DUB Threaded Wide Rear Derailleur SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission Chain SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission 12-Speed Flattop Chain Cassette SRAM XS 1295, 12 speed, 10-52 Wheels & Tires Front Wheel Roval Control SL VI, Hookless carbon, 29mm inner width, tubeless ready, DT Swiss 350 hub, DT Revolution Straight Pull Rear Wheel Roval Control SL VI, Hookless carbon, 29mm inner width, tubeless ready, DT Swiss 350 hub, DT Revolution Straight Pull Rear Tire Specialized Air Trak, Flex Lite Casing, T5/T7 Compound, 29x2.35 Front Tire Specialized Fast Trak, Flex Lite Casing, T5/T7 Compound, 29x2.35 Inner Tubes Specialized TPU inner tube Cockpit Seatpost Bike Yoke Divine SL, SM:100mm, M-XL:125mm travel, 30.9 Stem Roval Alloy XC 2-bolt stem, 60mm/70mm Handlebars Roval Control SL Flat, 6-degree upsweep, 8-degree backsweep, 10mm rise, 760mm, 35mm Saddle Specialized Power Expert, Ti Rails, SM: 155mm, M-XL: 143mm Grips Specialized Trail Grips Product ID 274031 Weight Weight Size MD Weight 10.39 kg (22 lb, 14.5 oz)
