Evolution of the Fastest
The Lightest, Fastest, Most Capable XC Race Bike Ever
A FACT 11m carbon XC race bike with 120mm of travel, SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission wireless shifting and Roval carbon wheels, at 24 lbs. 2.2 oz.
Built to go fast, everywhere
Epic 9 represents 24 years of winning XC innovation from Specialized. Starting from the Epic 8, Specialized took out 206 grams, making Epic 9 the lightest full-suspension XC race bike on the planet. Then they cut suspension friction by 11% and refined the kinematics for more efficiency, capability and speed per watt.
The Expert is the build for riders who want that race-bred frame with dependable, high-end parts: XC racers, marathon and endurance riders, and anyone who wants a fast, efficient trail bike for Front Range singletrack.

We had an outstanding experience at Cyclerie! We purchased two Aventon e-bikes, and the entire process was exceptional from start to finish. The staff took the time to help us choose the perfect bikes for our needs, recommended all the right accessories, and even installed our bike rack on the car before we left.
I had a terrific experience at Cyclerie! I love the bike I bought and working with Skip was great. He told me about customizing features that are available on the bike if you use the Aventon app.
I enjoyed my buying experience at Cyclerie. Ideal location, easy to get to, easy access to trails to test ride. … Salesperson was helpful, knowledgeable and easy to work with. No pressure to buy.
