Product Details

Hands down, the best value in cross-country racing machines today. The Epic Hardtail now features the same featherweight carbon chassis as our Pro model. Complete with a smart component package and a ride quality that’s second to none, this bike is a raging deal.

THE GAME CHANGER

The Epic Hardtail sports one of the lightest production frames to date, but it's a hell of a lot more than that. We designed the most capable and comfortable racing chassis ever created, because you're not fast if you're being pummeled by the trail. It's a game changer. MORE CONTROL MEANS MORE SPEED

Looking to ride faster? Who isn't? That's why we relaxed its head angle and lengthened the reach. The Epic retains a short wheelbase for deft handling yet offers more predictable steering and a centered rider position for increased control and speed on any trail.

• One of the lightest and most capable carbon hardtail frames ever created.

• RockShox Judy Gold 29 fork features Motion Control "lock-out" lever.

• SRAM SX Eagle drivetrain gives you all the gearing you need to tackle the biggest climbs.

Grande MTB!!!

Primo acquisto di una MTB Pro.Mi sono trovato con da subito benissimo,feeling bello, leggerissima a tal punto che in salita sono sempre davanti agli altri,divertente,si difende bene nei Trail più difficili anche se nelle discese impegnative si sente la leggerezza che crea meno stabilità ma è lo scotto che si paga per avere 10 kg di MTB per andare però dove si vuole e portarsela anche in spalla senza problemi.

Epica come nel nome

Premetto che sono un neofita e questo è il mio primo acquisto di una MTB PRO. Sebbene entry level la bici è ottima per utilizzi di XC e qualche dislivello impegnativo . Sono molto soddisfatto della resa e del comportamento della bici. Rifarei l'acquisto.
