Epic 9 Expert hits the sharpest price-to-performance balance in the Epic line: the same FACT 11m carbon frame as the Pro and S-Works, with SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission and Roval Control SL V carbon wheels. A serious XC race bike for riders ready to step up from alloy. Why Epic 9 1,589 g frame — the lightest full-suspension XC frame Specialized have ever produced (–206 g vs Epic 8). 11 % lower suspension friction — refined kinematics deliver more control, traction, and composure at race speed. Dynamic Trio damping — Wide Open / Magic Middle / Sprint-On-Lock, integrated through the Ride Dynamics system. Body Geometry-derived geometry — balanced for modern XC courses, optimised for efficiency and control. "The bike becomes an extension of me. You just let the experience ride itself." — Christopher Blevins Key Features FACT 11m Carbon frame, Rider-First Engineered, threaded BB RockShox SID Select+ fork + SIDLuxe Select+ rear shock with TwistLoc remote SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission, 12-speed wireless Roval Control SL V hookless carbon wheels, 29 mm internal width X-Fusion Manic dropper post + SRAM Motive Bronze 4-piston brakes Why You'll Love It Carbon Roval wheels and AXS shifting at this price point is rare air.
