Epic Hardtail

I'm sure you've already caught that astonished face. Accompanied with an expression, Are they really going to lower that into a rigid one? . Well, prepared to amaze a lot more people with an Epic Hardtail. Lightness and speed come together with confidence and ability in a bike that's designed to redefine what's possible for a cross-country speed genius.

The search for the lightest possible bike has always been a race within a race, but at what cost? The battle of grams has certainly taken its toll, with Hardtail XC competition bikes coming into the world only to provide rough and choppy rides at the expense of capacity and versatility.

But who said that the fatigue of fighting your own bike makes you faster? Instead, recognizing that the fastest bike is more than just the lightest bike, we said amongst ourselves… off with a canned-to-death tail, measuring-your-later-weariness-by-the-rails tail and with leading tail. The ridiculously capable, mystically comfortable, celebration of lightness and speed across the board, Epic Hardtail.

Sure, we've optimized every inch of the Epic Hardtail frame to achieve the world's lightest production rigid frame in the best possible way, but we've also prioritized our commitment to creating an Epic Hardtail that is as capable as it has aggressive geometry inspired by singletracks, plus room for wider tires and an obsessively designed frame for greater vertical tolerance, all while creating a bike that lives and breathes for its fundamentals - speed.

A RockShox Judy Gold suspension and Shimano transmission highlight the build, effortlessly balancing both price and performance for impressive results.

Ridiculously capable, incredibly light and refreshingly comfortable, the 11m carbon frame that simultaneously eases the installation of the Epic Hardtail's telescopic seat post rewrites the rigids manual with game-changing success.
Don't judge this Judy without being prepared to be impressed. RockShox's capable Motion Control damper and Solo Air spring combine perfectly for smooth, predictable motion and effortless set-up and adjustments.
Shimano's M6100 Hydraulic Disc Brakes are powerfully powered, offering a serious kick and backing you up with a refined and intuitive feel, making this package, which squeezes heavyweight performance, into a simple setup.
