Sina Frei (Switzerland) and Christopher Blevins (USA) etched their names into the history books when they captured the first-ever World Champion titles in cross-country Short Track (XCC) in 2021. To celebrate their historic victories, we created an S-Works Epic frameset as stunning as their accomplishments. Only 50 limited-edition framesets were created, each a replica of the bikes that Sina and Christopher will race during the 2022 XCC season.
“That moment when all of the rider’s effort is being put into the pedals, their vision starts to blur, and the world champion rainbow stripes blur on the downtube and headtube. The silver granite represents the swirling of thoughts, emotions, training, and everything else that goes into that one singular moment of glory as they become the world champion.” - Tom Briggs, Senior Concepts Graphic DesignerThe endlessly engineered World Championship S-Works Epic LTD frameset is here for you to let your discerning tastes run wild. We sweated every last detail when designing the S-Works frame, from an endlessly refined layup schedule that re-examined every last ply of FACT 12m carbon to optimize weight savings and ride dynamics to the weight-shedding carbon shock link, all so that you focus on the rest, knowing that you’re starting with the most capable canvas in the world.A Smarter BRAINTrue 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 S-Works Epic frame features a 15-percent stiffer rear triangle in order to take full advantage of the BRAIN’s new race-tuned pedaling platform. A dedicated layup schedule and the use of our top-shelf FACT 12m Carbon takes weight savings yet a step further than it’s stablemates, while the pièce de résistance comes in the form of a carbon fiber shock link, combining to shave a total of over 100 grams from the previous generation S-works frame—no easy task, mind you.Perfectly matched to the frame's BRAIN system, the S-Works Epic frameset's Position-Sensitive BRAIN fork benefits from RockShox's latest SID Ulitmate SL chassis for next-level steering stiffness that still manages to keep the gram count to a minimum.Frame
