About the build
The build is a bit mixed, putting a modest drivetrain at Balanced-tier side by side with standout wheels at Elite-tier. Pure SRAM throughout — no mixed components. Elite-tier wheels with Balanced-tier tyres — a quick swap is the cheapest upgrade here. A stack-to-reach ratio of 1.29 gives a lower, longer position than the typical mountain bike. Compared with equally well-specced mountain bikes, the price is on the low side.

Manufacturer's description
Epic 9 repræsenterer 24 års vindende XC-innovation, destilleret til den hurtigste racercykel i verden.Vi startede med Epic 8's verdensførende benchmark. Derefter fjernede vi det, der holdt den tilbage. 206 gram er væk, hvilket gør Epic 9 til den letteste fuldaffjedrede XC-racercykel på kloden.Derefter reducerede vi affjedringsfriktionen med 11 % og raffinerede kinematikken. Resultatet: uovertruffen effektivitet, kapacitet og hastighed pr. watt.Hastighed opstår som det naturlige resultat af en cykel, der er så integreret omkring rytteren, at den forsvinder og giver plads til realisering af rytterens fulde potentiale.
