Cross country racing has its own list of demands, and speed is at the top of the list. Our Epic FSR Comp Carbon World Cup answers the call with a tighter geometry, along with shorter chainstays and tube lengths in comparison to a "standard" Epic. This gives the World Cup more explosive power transfer and nimbler handling, especially when paired up with the carbon chassis and M5 alloy rear end. As for the build, you truly start to see the theme of uncompromising speed at work, as we've hung some of SRAM's most reliable parts on this bike. And to make sure that you'll be utilizing every watt of power out of them, we included our Mini Brain rear shock that differentiates rider input from trail bumps to ensure that the bike stays stiff when you need it to. With all of this going on, it's easy to see why the Epic has long been the dominant force on the cross country scene.

  • By pairing a FACT 9m carbon fibre frame w/ an M5 alloy rear end with our World Cup XC 29 Geometry, this Epic places a focus on tight tube angles and light overall weight for explosive speed and nimble handling on the race circuit.

  • A custom RockShox Reba RL 29 fork offers up 100mm of smooth travel, while an easily accessible compression and rebound adjusts permit you to customize the feel according to the terrain at hand.

  • Shimano Deore XT 11-speed rear derailleur is tough, reliable, and incredibly precise.

i LOVE this bike

I really really love this bike. I turned it into a trail bike with a new fork (even though I love the reba) with 150mm and I slackened the head angle with some offset bushings. Its still an XC bike but I took it to Whistler a couple of weeks ago, and I can tell you, this bike shreds the gnar like no other bike that I've ridden in my 7 years of Mountain Biking. I love the brain technology, it really helps me on those long climbs and decents. I'm getting a bit older so might need a bigger brain soon :) The bottom line is this bike is amazing and would be great for any amateur or higher for XC to trail pursuits
