Specialized S-Works Epic 9 (2027)
Epic 9 represents 24 years of winning XC innovation, distilled into the fastest race bike in the world.
We started with Epic 8’s world-beating benchmark. Then removed what held it back. 206 grams gone, making Epic 9 the lightest full-suspension XC race bike on the planet.
Then we cut suspension friction by 11% and refined the kinematics. The result: unmatched efficiency, capability, and speed per watt.
Speed emerges as the natural outcome of a bike so seamlessly integrated around the rider that it disappears, leaving only the rider’s full potential, realized.

Complete your Ride
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.
