Capability yields control. Control breeds confidence. Confidence unlocks velocity.

Epic 9 is the distillation of 24 years of XC race-winning innovation into a single, uncompromising objective: more speed everywhere. By removing weight across the entire frame, reducing suspension friction, and refining kinematics, Epic 9 converts more rider energy into forward motion than any Epic before it.

This isn’t speed through shortcuts. It’s speed through precision—where lighter mass, active suspension, and system-level efficiency work in harmony to disappear beneath the rider and unlock full potential on modern XC courses.

Guide des tailles

The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.

We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
