The Epic World Cup is a bike built to win. We have overcome traditional conventions to be the fastest and have risen to the challenge with an unprecedented approach: from chassis design, to a revolutionary shock absorber design to unrivaled driving dynamics. The result? A unique combination of efficiency, control and lightness. The whole is faster than the sum of its parts.

"The first time I got on the Epic WC, I knew I would never ride a hardtail again. This bike... gives me everything I could want from a hardtail, plus the control and capability of full suspension." -Christopher Blevins, 2021 UCI Short Track World Champion

EFFICIENCY

The frame weighing just 1765-grams has unparalleled stiffness at the bottom bracket. The new RockShox SID Deluxe WCID (World Cup Integrated Design) shock has independently adjustable positive and negative air springs. Thanks to this feature, combined with the optimization of air volumes and damping characteristics, the Epic WC presents the sought-after "snap" of hardtails, combined with a lightness that devours the terrain and provides the possibility of adapting the set up to a specific route.

BEYOND YOUR CATEGORY

The Epic World Cup's 75mm of travel feels like it's much more. When the bike is ridden in firm mode, it offers the same positive travel as a 100mm travel bike set at 25% sag. The optimization of air volumes and damping characteristics allows the Epic WC to handle impacts like a bike with more generous travel. The dedicated MegaJounce pad provides robust end-of-stroke support to handle the most violent impacts.

LIGHTNESS

With a frame weighing just 1765 grams (painted, with shock and hardware), the Epic World Cup is the lightest on the market. This lightness translates into explosive acceleration, climbs with maximum efficiency, and surprising handling. The sum of these characteristics is speed. We managed to design such a light and at the same time stiff frame thanks to what we learned in the design of the Aethos, in particular in reference to the carbon layup.
