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.
*S-Works 12m frameset, size Medium, Carbon/White color, with shock, seat collar, axle, and all hardware
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.
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.
