2027 S-Works Epic 9 XC Mountain Bike | SRAM XX SL Eagle Transmission | RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant | Roval World Cup Wheels


The S-Works Epic 9 XC Mountain Bike is engineered for one purpose: winning cross-country races at the highest level. This elite full-suspension XC race bike combines an ultra-light S-Works FACT 12m Carbon frame, advanced electronic suspension, and world-class components to deliver explosive speed, efficiency, and control on demanding race courses.

Built on more than two decades of Epic innovation, the S-Works Epic 9 takes cross-country performance further than ever. Compared with the previous-generation Epic 8, the Epic 9 removes 206g of frame weight, creating an exceptionally light and responsive full-suspension XC platform. Suspension friction has also been reduced by 11%, helping the bike carry momentum more efficiently across climbs, technical singletrack, rock gardens, roots, and high-speed descents.

Designed around Progressive XC Race Geometry and 120mm of front and rear travel, the S-Works Epic 9 delivers the perfect balance of climbing speed, pedalling efficiency, and race-ready descending capability. Whether you are chasing podiums, attacking marathon XC courses, or looking for the fastest full-suspension mountain bike available, the Epic 9 is built to convert every watt into forward motion.

The S-Works FACT 12m Carbon frame provides an incredibly light, stiff, and responsive chassis for elite XC racing. Paired with RockShox SID Ultimate Flight Attendant front suspension and RockShox SIDLuxe Ultimate Flight Attendant rear suspension, the Epic 9 automatically adapts to the terrain, helping maximise efficiency without compromising control.

A premium SRAM XX SL Eagle Transmission delivers precise, wireless shifting under load, while Roval World Cup wheels with DT Swiss 180 hubs offer a lightweight, fast-rolling wheelset built for race-day acceleration. At just 21 lbs. 4.7 oz. / 9.66 kg, this is a seriously lightweight full-suspension XC mountain bike made for riders who demand the very best.

The S-Works Epic 9 is built for riders who want the lightest, fastest, and most capable XC race bike possible. With its carbon race frame, electronic Flight Attendant suspension, SRAM XX SL wireless drivetrain, and Roval World Cup wheelset, this bike is designed to dominate modern cross-country racing.

For elite racers and performance-focused mountain bikers, the Specialized S-Works Epic 9 XC Mountain Bike delivers uncompromising speed, efficiency, and confidence on every section of the course.
