EPIC HT COMP

Gone are the days when a date with a hardtail race bike meant
paying for it for days to come. Now, the Epic Hardtail Comps
reality-altering combination of comfort and capability in a
lighter-than-life package means counting down the hours until you
meet again.Working towards the lightest bike possible has
long been the race within the race, but at what cost? The battle
of the grams certainly hasnt been without its casualties, with
hardtail XC race bikes coming to stand for a harsh, twitchy ride
at the expense of capability and versatility.But who said
fatigue from fighting against your bike makes you any faster?
Instead, recognizing that the fastest bike is more than simply
the lightest bike, we said out with the jarred-to-death
tail, the measure-your-posteriors-sorrows-by-the-yard
tail, and in with the avant-garde tail. The
ridiculously capable, mystifyingly comfortable, head-shakingly
light, and all-around fast Epic Hardtail.Sure, we
optimized every inch of the Epic Hardtail frame to achieve the
lightest production hardtail frame in the world anyway—but we
also prioritized our commitment to creating an Epic Hardtail
thats as capable as it is comfortable with aggressive
singletrack-inspired geometry, increased tire clearance and a
frame obsessively engineered for increased vertical compliance,
all while creating a bike that lives and breathes the
fundamentals of fast.On the Epic Hardtail Comp, RockShoxs
long-beloved SID SL fork is tasked with handling suspension
duties, while a full SRAM Transmission groupset leaves no doubts
about why it sets the benchmark for accessible performance.
