2027 Specialized Epic 9 Comp XC Mountain Bike | SRAM S1000 Eagle Transmission | RockShox SID Select | FACT 11m Carbon Frame


The Specialized Epic 9 Comp XC Mountain Bike brings the speed, efficiency, and capability of the legendary Epic platform to riders who want a lightweight carbon full-suspension XC bike built for racing, training, and fast technical riding.

Designed for modern cross-country performance, the Specialized Epic 9 Comp combines a FACT 11m Carbon frame, Progressive XC Race Geometry, and 120mm of travel to deliver a responsive, efficient, and confidence-inspiring ride across climbs, descents, singletrack, roots, rocks, and race-day terrain.

Representing 24 years of winning XC innovation, the Epic 9 evolves from the benchmark set by the Epic 8. Specialized removed 206 grams of weight, reduced suspension friction by 11%, and refined the kinematics to create a faster, smoother, and more capable full-suspension XC mountain bike. The result is outstanding speed per watt, efficient power transfer, and race-focused control when every second matters.


Lightweight Carbon XC Race Performance

At the heart of the 2027 Epic 9 Comp is a lightweight FACT 11m Carbon frame engineered for cross-country racing and high-performance mountain biking. The Progressive XC Race Geometry gives the bike a fast, stable, and efficient ride feel, helping riders climb with purpose, descend with confidence, and maintain speed through technical sections.

The suspension package features a RockShox SID Select fork and RockShox SIDLuxe Select+ rear shock, delivering 120mm of controlled suspension travel for improved traction, comfort, and handling on demanding XC courses. This balanced suspension setup helps keep the Epic 9 Comp efficient under power while adding the control needed for modern technical race tracks.

A SRAM S1000 Eagle Transmission drivetrain provides dependable shifting and a wide gear range for steep climbs, rapid accelerations, and long-distance XC efforts. Paired with Specialized Alloy 29 wheels, the Epic 9 Comp offers a durable and capable platform for riders looking to enter the Epic 9 range with a serious carbon race bike.


The Specialized Epic 9 Comp XC Mountain Bike is ideal for riders who want a fast, lightweight, and capable carbon XC bike without stepping up to the highest-tier models. With its FACT 11m carbon frame, 120mm full-suspension platform, RockShox Select suspension, SRAM S1000 Eagle Transmission, and striking Gloss Ruby Metallic finish, it delivers excellent performance for XC racing, marathon events, and fast trail riding.

For riders searching for a Specialized Epic 9 Comp for sale, a carbon full-suspension XC mountain bike, or a lightweight 29er cross-country race bike, the Epic 9 Comp offers a powerful blend of speed, efficiency, durability, and modern XC capability.
