Epic 9 Expert
World’s Lightest
Epic 9 is the lightest full-suspension XC race bike ever made. 1,589 grams\*. 206 grams lighter than Epic 8.\ \ The production S-Works Epic 9 Ultralight LTD weighs just 8.5 kg (18 lb 14 oz), size medium.\ \ Less mass, more speed. And not at the expense of performance. Efficiency, ride quality, and capability all improved.\ \ \*S-Works Medium, Carbon/White color, with shock, seat collar, axle, and all hardware
206 Grams Faster
We didn’t cut weight in one place. We 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.
Plush. Supple. Sharp.
Lower friction and refined kinematics unlock composure at race speed.
Suspension Science
Leverage tuned for traction, efficiency, and bottom-out control.
Dynamic Trio
Three suspension modes, one goal: maximum velocity.
No Wasted Watts
Optimized kinematics, supportive suspension, and race-proven geometry keeps you centered while the suspension stays active and efficient. Every watt drives forward. Less wasted motion. Less fatigue. More speed, especially when it gets rough.
Efficiency is A System
Kinematics, chassis, and damping working as one for maximum speed per watt.
Pedal with Purpose
Active, independent suspension keeps power driving forward.
Geometry by Body Geometry
Winning geometry refined with real-world fit data.
