    • Evolution of the Fastest

    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.
    We 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.
    Then we cut suspension friction by 11% and refined the kinematics. The result: unmatched efficiency, capability, and speed per watt.
    Speed emerges as the natural outcome of a bike so seamlessly integrated around the rider that it disappears, leaving only the rider’s full potential, realized.

    World’s Lightest

    Mass Is the Enemy of Performance

    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.

    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

    Calm in Chaos

    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

    Unsurpassed Efficiency

    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.
