If you ask us it's been too long since hardtails got their world shaken up. Well our all-new Epic Hardtail Pro does just that. New geometry crazy-low frame weight and a build from the racing gods—this bike is ready to shatter the mold.
In order to create one of the lightest frames we've ever made (around 1175 grams if you're curious) we built the entire frame from our superlative FACT 11m carbon fiber and then we took some cues from our road bikes.
We borrowed the Rider-First Engineeredâ„¢ concept that originated with the Tarmac. Now the frame design applies specificity to every tube size and carbon layup for every frame size. This creates the optimal balance of rigidity weight and responsiveness so every frame regardless of size performs just as we intended. We've also tweaked the geometry for more speed and stability by slacking-out the head tube lengthening the top tube and correcting the seat tube angle. This way it feels more planted then ever and frankly it's stupid fast. We also widened the rear spacing to 12x148mm and included internal split-housing cable routing.
For the build the Epic Hardtail Pro hits right on the money opting for a custom-tuned RockShox SID fork with Brain SRAM X01 Eagleâ„¢ 12-speed shifting and hand-built Roval Control Pro Carbon wheels.
