The S-Works Epic Hardtail is the lightest production frame to date. Impressive, yes, but it's much more than that. We've also created the most capable and comfortable cross-country machine ever, because you're not fast if you're being pummeled by the trail. It's a game changer.
TUNED FOR COMFORT
The S-Works Epic Hardtail frameset is the lightest and most capable production chassis on earth. We've tuned the composite to not only be ultralight, but also ultra-forgiving. You're not winning the race if you're being pummeled by the race course.
TUNED FOR CONTROL
Looking to ride faster? Who isn't? That's why we relaxed its head angle and lengthened the reach. The Epic retains a short wheelbase for deft handling yet offers more predictable steering and a centered rider position for increased control and speed on any trail.
• Our lightest and most capable carbon hardtail frame yet.
• Carbon and resin mix optimized for strength and improved compliance.
• Precision-tailored composite plies and exacting wall thicknesses shed serious weight.
