Epic 9 represents 24 years of winning XC innovation, distilled into the fastest race bike in the world. Starting with Epic 8's world-beating benchmark, the new model removes what held it back, shedding 206 grams to become the lightest full-suspension XC race bike on the planet. The suspension friction has been cut by 11% with refined kinematics, delivering 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

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.\ \ \*Medium, Carbon/White color, with shock, seat collar, axle, and all hardware

World’s Lightest

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.

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.

Peerless Capability

Plush. Supple. Sharp.

Lower friction and refined kinematics unlock composure at race speed.
