Specialized Epic 9 Sport 

Specialized Epic 9 is the result of 24 years of XC evolution and top‑level victories, concentrated in a single bike: the fastest full-suspension race bike in the world .

Starting from the incredible benchmark set by the Epic 8, Specialized engineers shaved off every superfluous gram: 206 grams less , making the Epic 9 the lightest XC full-suspension on the planet . But they didn’t stop at weight. Suspension friction has been reduced by 11% and the kinematics have been completely optimized to deliver an unprecedented combination of pedaling efficiency, responsiveness and control .

On the climbs the Epic 9 flies, turning every watt into pure speed. On the descents it stays glued to the ground, allowing cleaner lines, shorter braking distances and more explosive accelerations. Everything is designed so that the bike “disappears” beneath you, leaving only 100% of your potential to shine through.

If you’re looking for an XC race mountain bike capable of taking you from your first race number to the front row, the Specialized Epic 9 is the ultimate weapon to dominate the clock and your rivals.
