This \u003cstrong\u003efull-suspension race bike\u003c\/strong\u003e has been engineered to deliver extreme performance, reducing weight by 206 grams compared to the previous model. The result is the \u003cstrong\u003eworld’s lightest XC bike\u003c\/strong\u003e in its category, allowing riders to tackle technical trails with maximum responsiveness. The seamless integration of frame, suspension, and components guarantees an uncompromising riding experience, where every rider input translates into speed and control. The optimized geometry promotes energy efficiency, reducing power loss and enabling superior performance on varied terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Suspension and Friction Reduction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEpic 9 suspension\u003c\/strong\u003e has undergone significant optimization, with an 11% reduction in friction compared to the previous generation. This improvement translates into a \u003cstrong\u003emore immediate response\u003c\/strong\u003e to trail obstacles, maintaining wheel contact with the ground in every condition. The \u003cstrong\u003erefined suspension kinematics\u003c\/strong\u003e ensure effective impact absorption without compromising climbing efficiency. Full-suspension technology makes it possible to tackle technical descents with confidence, while reduced internal resistance keeps the rider’s energy focused on propulsion. This combination of lightness and efficiency makes the Epic 9 the ideal choice for XC races where every gram and every millisecond count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUncompromising Performance for the Competitive Rider\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003espeed of the Epic 9\u003c\/strong\u003e is not the result of a single feature, but of the perfect synergy between all bike components. The ultralight frame, efficient suspension, and optimized geometry create a platform where the rider can unleash maximum potential. Every watt of power is converted into acceleration and speed, without losses due to friction or excess weight. The bike adapts naturally to the rider’s movements, delivering immediate feedback and precise control on rough terrain. This \u003cstrong\u003erace bike\u003c\/strong\u003e has been developed for athletes seeking the highest level of performance, where lightness, efficiency, and speed are decisive factors for success in competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: FACT 11m Carbon, Progressive XC Race Geometry, Rider-First Engineered™, threaded BB, 12x148mm UDH compatible rear dropout, internal cable routing, 120mm of travel, Optimized for wireless drivetrain.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSWAT: SWAT BOX 2.0 ASSY.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat collar: Specialized Alloy 34.9, Steel Bolt.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFork: RockShox SID Select+, Ride Dynamics developed 3 position, Debon Air, 15x110mm, 44mm offset, 120mm Travel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear shock: RockShox SIDLuxe Select+, Ride Dynamics developed 3 position, TwistLoc remote adjust, Solo Air, 190x45mm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear brake: SRAM Motive Bronze, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 160mm rotor.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront brake: SRAM Motive Bronze, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 180mm rotor.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: SRAM AXS POD Controller.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom bracket: SRAM DUB Threaded Wide.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear derailleur: SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain: SRAM GX Eagle Transmission 12-Speed Flattop Chain.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrankset: SRAM GX Eagle, DUB, SM:165mm, M-XL:170mm, 34T.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCassette: SRAM XG-1275 12-Speed Transmission 10-52t.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront wheel: Roval Control SL V, Hookless carbon, 29mm inner width, tubeless ready, DT Swiss 370 hub, Sapim D-Light Straight Pull.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear wheel: Roval Control SL V, Hookless carbon, 29mm inner width, tubeless ready, DT Swiss 370 hub, Sapim D-Light Straight Pull.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear tire: Specialized Air Trak, Flex Lite Casing, T5\/T7 Compound, 29x2.35.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront tire: Specialized Fast Trak, Flex Lite Casing, T5\/T7 Compound, 29x2.35.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner tubes: Specialized Turbo Tube 48MM Presta valve, 29x1.75\/2.4.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: Body Geometry Power Sport, steel rails.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStem: Roval Alloy XC 2-bolt stem, 60mm\/70mm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrips: SRAM Slip on with Twist-Loc.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar: Specialized Alloy Minirise, 10mm rise, 750mm, 35mm clamp.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeatpost: X-Fusion Manic, 30.9, SM: 125mm, M: 150mm, L-XL: 170mm Travel, 0mm offset.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize M weight: 10.95 kg (24 lb, 2.2 oz).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Black (Gloss Carbon \/ White).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Specialized","offers":[{"title":"S \/ Black","offer_id":54078033985882,"sku":"90327-3002","price":6999.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"M \/ Black","offer_id":54078034018650,"sku":"90327-3003","price":6999.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"L \/ Black","offer_id":54078034051418,"sku":"90327-3004","price":6999.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL \/ Black","offer_id":54078034084186,"sku":"90327-3005","price":6999.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/7139\/6534\/files\/Specialized-Epic-9-Expert-Nero-All4cycling-1.webp?v=1777489710","url":"https:\/\/maisoncalyx.shop\/en\/products\/specialized-epic-9-expert-nero","provider":"All4cycling ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
