What do you get when you open up the taps on trickle-down technology? That’d be the Epic Pro LTD. A waterfall of performance coming straight down from Mount S-Works the Epic Pro LTD benefits from the most efficient suspension design we’ve ever created not to mention a frame that’s as light as the previous-generation S-Works while offering the same incredibly efficient power transfer of the current cream of the World Cup crop.A SMARTER BRAINMixing hardtail efficiency and full-suspension capability to impressively quick results Epic has always been defined by an uncompromised commitment to speed. Well that and over 100 World Cup wins and podiums too.True to form the latest Epic continues the tradition taking advantage of the most efficient BRAIN suspension we’ve ever created to ensure it’s always on a first-name-basis with fast.Re-engineered hand-in-hand with the new Epic the latest BRAIN design resets the expectation for efficiency employing a new race-tuned pedaling platform to ensure every watt possible is translated into forward motion while handily soaking up momentum-killing chatter and big hits alike—all more smoothly than ever.FRAME-CHANGERRedesigned with a focus on efficient power transfer and better handling performance the Epic’s all-new FACT 11m carbon frame features a 15-percent stiffer rear triangle in order to take full advantage of the BRAIN’s new race-tuned pedaling platform while the revised carbon layup of the front-triangle sheds weight sending the Epic’s already sky-high stiffness-to-weight ratio even higher.The Epic Pro LTD’s Top-Adjust Position-Sensitive BRAIN fork allows for easy tuning on the fly making suspension adjustments on course pre-rides a stress-free affair while SRAM’s X0 Eagle AXS electronic group takes notes from BRAIN’s telepathic performance firing off shifts with lightning-fast precision.
