Race courses have evolved over the past few years. Theyre more technical steeper & more challenging to ride. But instead of quivering in our boots we saw this as an opportunity to make something specialsomething that both world cup athletes & XC riders alike can instantly feel the benefit from. We looked at the sum of parts that make a bike handle well like the head angle reach stack chainstay length fork offset etc. & reevaluated all of it. Increasing the reach made a bike that was more stable at speed & generally more comfortable to ride. Dropper posts? Yep those fit & not just a short-travel XC option but full-length droppers that fit in the 30.9mm seat tube. Head angle? We slacked that out but not without evaluating the overall handling package. It now lands on a custom offset 42mm fork that works with the slacker head angle in order to behave itself in tight corners & through switchbacks. Next comes brain 2.0. The original brain changed the way the bike world looked at suspension both in its inefficiencies & benefits alike. & oh was it good. It won races & put a flag in the ground for us as a true leader in innovation & suspension development but we knew that we could make it better. Simple physics told us that by moving the brain closer to the rear axle it would be in the most sensitive spot. & after countless hours with the Rockshox team the brain became more than just a slight upgrade. Its totally reborn. Now it reacts seamlessly to bump forces it has much more consistent damping performance & finally it integrates the hoses into the suspension links. This in turn improves oil paths & it creates an incredibly sleek package that outperforms anything on the market. The epic also has a rider rider-first engineered design that places complex carbon pieces in all the right places & this greatly increases stiffness in the front-end for a vast improvement in ride quality & control. To go along with this each frame size has size-specific tubes that result in the stiffest best riding XC bike weve ever developedno matter the frame size. & while stiffness brain technology & geometry features are cool & all we know what youre thinking "what about weight?" were glad you asked. With the goal of the epic to be the fastest XC mountain bike weve ever made weight was at the top of our priorities list. We started with an efficient frame layout & tube shapes that feature clean cable routing an integrated shock oil channel straight tubes with less bends & optimized torsion profiles in every section. & if youre curious this weight savings is equivalent to shedding a chainstay & shock extension from the previous epicnearly 525 grams. The build of the epic Comp is value-packed featuring an 11-speed SRAM nx 12-speed groupset SRAM level tl brakes & a Roval control alloy wheelset. Get ready because this is going to be epic. Full FACT 11m carbon fiber frame combines stiffness, strength, & light overall weight to deliver an off-the-hook race bike. Meanwhile, the new geometry, Rockshox brain shock, & 100mm of travel, make the epic the best handling, fastest XC rig youve been on. A Rockshox reba rl fork soaks up the bumps up front, & features both compression & rebound adjustments. The 12-speed SRAM nx eagle groupset brings the performance of eagle at a doable price point. ...

Basically it embodies everything thats good about mountain bikes & thats what evo is all about. But an epic Comp evo made out of aluminium? We say "yeah its a perfect fit." & thats because this bike brings all the uphill racing singletrack-ripping fun you want & puts it in a durable on-budget package. So get excited because this is the most "epic" epic yet. Take a look around our office & youre going to see plenty epicsmost of them wearing dropper posts wider tyres & bars & slightly longer forks. Thats because the epics that were frankensteining are not only fast off the start line theyre even better suited to masochistically long rides multi-day stage races & fast backcountry missions. At some point we looked around & said to ourselves we should offer this bike right out of the box right? so we did. So lets dig into the details. First off the evo ups the fork travel from 100mm to 120mm. This gives you some relief up front while also slacking-out the front-end by one-degree to 68.5. Next up we added a zero-offset dropper post to give you more control on descents but this design keeps your saddle over the bb on steep climbs. We also put some meat on the tyres with a grippy 2.3" ground control at the front & a stiffer fast trak at the rear with grid protection at the sidewalls. The epic evo also features our brain 2.0. The og brain changed the way the bike world looked at suspension & oh was it good. It won races & put a flag in the ground for us as a true leader in innovation & suspension development but we knew that we could make it better. Simple physics told us that by moving the brain closer to the rear axle it would be in the most sensitive spot. & after some lengthy r&d its totally new. Now it reacts seamlessly to bump forces it has much more consistent damping performance & finally it integrates the hoses into the suspension links. This means that the oil paths are enhanced & that creates an incredibly sleek package that outperforms anything on the market. At the heart of the construction youll find our m 5 alloy with our daluisio smartweld technology that strategically places more welding material where its needed resulting in an aluminium frame thats more compliant & considerably stiffer at nearly every tube juncture. Its awesome. For the build we specd a 12-speed SRAM nx eagle groupset SRAM level tl brakes & a Roval control alloy wheelset. A Rockshox reba rl fork, with 120mm of travel, soaks up rocks, roots, & bumps, & it also features both compression & rebound adjustments. The 12-speed SRAM nx eagle groupset brings the performance of eagle at a value anyone can appreciate. An x-fusion manic seatpost brings you some much-needed drop for tackling steep descents, but it also features a zero-offset design that keeps your weight over the bottom bracket for the climbs. ...
