EPIC 8 COMP 2025
The all-new Epic 8 evolves the formula of fastest through capability, efficiency, and lightweight integration. Modern XC tracks demand more and more capability by the day. Enter Epic 8. Its improved kinematics make it the most efficient pedaling bike we've ever tested, while custom valved (and tuned) shocks soak up every bump. It's a wolf in wolf's clothing.
If you're an XC racer or prioritize all-out speed in your ride, the Epic 8 is the bike for you.
