“Make the fastest XC bike ever.” That was the Epic development team’s audacious mission. Luckily for them, the starting point was the winningest full suspension XC race bike in history. Building from this, the team delivered an unmatched combination of pedaling efficiency, light weight and control. Mission accomplished.

Brain Technology, It Knows
Brain technology in the Epic fork and shock knows the difference between pedaling force and bump force—it keeps suspension efficiently firm on smooth terrain and automatically switches to active the instant things get rough, boosting control and speed. The new Epic gets a fresh Brain shock, the most durable and control-enhancing that we’ve ever made.

Speed Frame
The culmination of two decades of obsessive refinement, the new Epic frames are lighter and stiffer than ever. The S-Works Epic FACT 12m carbon chassis shaves over 100 grams from its predecessor, employs a carbon link, and boasts a 15% increase in rear triangle stiffness. The FACT 11m frame found on the rest of the Epic range now matches the stiffness and weight of the previous S-Works chassis.

Rx Tune - Your Prescription for Fast
Innovate or Die
When you’re building on a two-decade obsession with speed, no stone is left unturned. Finite Element Analysis, tube shape optimization, and some of the most experienced athletes on the planet strung up with sensors and wires helped shape the fastest XC bikes on the planet.
The Ultimate XC Race Wheels
It’s one thing to build a featherweight wheel. It’s another thing entirely to build that featherweight wheel tough enough to withstand the rigors of modern XC racing. At an unbeatable 1240 grams, this is a World Cup caliber wheelset that delivers a sure-handling ride in all conditions, wherever, however you ride.

EPIC DEVELOPMENT LEADS
Being tasked with making the fastest XC bike we’ve ever made even faster is no small feat. Brian Gordon, Jason McDonald, Mike “Mick” McAndrews and Chance Ferro dug into every aspect of handling, stiffness and suspension kinematics to do exactly that. The result is not one, but two, purpose-built Epic platforms for the fastest racers and riders in the XC world.
