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, realized.
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.
The Specialized EPIC 9 COMP offers the same quality frame as pricier models with reliable, durable components, making it a great choice for active riding. 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 SPECIALIZED EPIC 9 COMP?
✅ FACT carbon frame – a light, stiff frame that transfers power efficiently and keeps weight down.
✅ RockShox SID Select fork, 110 mm travel – suspension for grip and control on rough ground.
✅ RockShox SIDLuxe Select+ rear shock – full suspension soaks up impacts for more comfort and control.
✅ SRAM S1000 Eagle AXS 12-speed drivetrain – electronic shifting, fast and precise in any conditions.
✅ SRAM Motive Bronze hydraulic disc brakes – powerful, easy-to-modulate braking in any weather.
✅ Specialized Fast Trak tyres – tubeless-ready for lower pressures, more grip and fewer flats.
