2027 Specialized S-WORKS Epic 9

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 S-Works FACT 12m 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, Ti 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 Ultimate, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 160mm rotor Front Brake SRAM Motive Ultimate, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 180mm rotor Drivetrain Bottom Bracket CeramicSpeed Alpha, DUB Crankset SRAM / Quarq XX SL Eagle Power Meter Crankset, DUB SM:165mm, M-XL:170mm, 34T Shift Levers SRAM AXS POD Ultimate Controller Cassette SRAM CS-1299, 12 speed, 10-52t Rear Derailleur SRAM XX Eagle AXS Chain SRAM XX SL Eagle Transmission 12-Speed Flattop Chain Wheels & Tires Rear Wheel Roval Control World Cup, Mini hooked carbon, 28.5mm inner width, tubeless ready, Roval Control World Cup hub, DT Swiss 180 internals, Roval Carbon spokes w/ Ti end pieces Front Wheel Roval Control World Cup, Mini hooked carbon, 28.5mm inner width, tubeless ready, Roval Control World Cup hub, DT Swiss ceramic bearings, Roval Carbon spokes w/ Ti end pieces 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 RockShox Reverb AXS, 30.9mm, S: 125, M/L:150, XL: 175mm Handlebars Roval Control SL Integrated cockpit, 60mm/70mm X- 6 degree integrated stem, 8-degree backsweep, 2 degree upsweep, 760mm wide Saddle Specialized S-Works Power EVO Mirror, Carbon Rails, SM: 155mm, M-XL: 143mm Grips Specialized Trail Grips Product ID 274030 Weight Weight 9.66 kg (21 lb, 4.7 oz) Weight Size MD
