Epic 9
The Lightest, Fastest, Most Capable XC Race Bike Ever
Epic 9 represents 24 years of winning XC innovation, distilled into the fastest race bike in the world. Specialized started with Epic 8’s world-beating benchmark. Then removed what held it back. 206 grams gone, making Epic 9 the lightest full-suspension XC race bike on the planet.
Features
206 Grams Faster
Specialized didn’t cut weight in one place. They removed it everywhere. The result is the lightest full-suspension XC frame ever built; faster acceleration, sharper response, better control, and more speed per watt.
Devotion to Detail
Hundreds of micro‑optimizations, zero compromise.
Numbers Don’t Lie
129 Grams Lighter than the closest competitor.
Peerless Capability
Epic 9 is built for modern cross country racing, where speeds are high, lines are ugly, and hesitation and mistakes are punished by the competition. Unmatched capability, control, and composure make the difference between winning and crashing.
Suspension Science
Leverage tuned for traction, efficiency, and bottom-out control.
Dynamic Trio
Three suspension modes, one goal: maximum velocity.
