Epic 9 represents 24 years of winning XC innovation, distilled into the fastest race bike in the world. The Built for Legends LTD celebrates the Epic bike's unrivaled racing heritage with an exclusive colorway, exclusive red brake claipers, and unique details inspired by two decades of World Cup domination. Limited to just 119 individually numbered bikes worldwide, it is as rare as it is fast. Once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. We started with Epic 8, the benchmark in XC racing, and pushed it even further. At 206 grams lighter, Epic 9 is the lightest full-suspension XC frameset on the planet. We reduced suspension friction by 11% and refined the kinematics. The result: unmatched efficiency, capability, and speed per watt. When the only goal is the top step, nothing in XC gets you there faster than the S-Works Epic 9 Built for Legends LTD.
The Epic is one of the most successful XC race bikes. A light carbon frame and efficient suspension make every pedal stroke count, while modern geometry adds confidence on technical sections.
S-Works is the top of the Specialized range: the lightest frames, the best components and the technology the pros ride. The S-Works EPIC 9 LTD MADE IN RACING is for riders who accept no compromises. The carbon frame keeps weight down while adding stiffness where it matters, so the bike responds instantly to every pedal stroke and steers precisely through corners.
WHY CHOOSE THE S-WORKS EPIC 9 LTD MADE IN RACING?
✅ FACT carbon frame – a light, stiff frame that transfers power efficiently and keeps weight down.
