2027 Specialized Epic 9 Expert
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.
2027 Specialized Epic 9 Expert
Specialized 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 they 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, realised.
