Epic Comp Carbon 29

2016 Epic Comp Carbon 29

Whether you're earning your stripes on the XC race circuit, or you're just looking for a well-rounded bike that'll get you up the mountain in no time, the Epic Comp Carbon is up for the job. It features a carbon fiber chassis and a M5 alloy rear end in order to check all of the weight savings and durability boxes on your wish list. Meanwhile, the frame follows our XC 29 Geometry, which means that you can expect explosive power, incredible speeds, and a tight, nimble degree of handling throughout its 100mm of front and rear travel. For the build, you truly start to see the theme at work, as we've hung some of Shimano's most reliable parts on this bike. And to make sure that you'll be utilizing every watt of power out of them, we included our Mini Brain rear shock that differentiates rider input from trail bumps to ensure that the bike stays stiff when you need it to. With all of this going on, it's easy to see why the Epic has long been the dominant force on the cross country scene.
