Epic Hardtail Comp

Gone are the days when you left everyone else behind in races on a hardtail race bike - but still felt the success in your body for days afterwards. The Epic Hardtail Comp combines comfort with performance and makes your life easier, not just literally. So that you can hardly wait for the next race.

Bringing the lightest bike to the start line has always been one of the biggest challenges for top teams. But the fight for every gram demands sacrifices. XC hardtails stand for hard, fast rides at the expense of off-road capability and versatility.

But who said that fighting the exhausting battle against your bike's rigidity and stubbornness will make you any faster? We realized that the fastest bike isn't just the lightest. That's why we abandoned conventional rear ends that only cause pain with their rigidity and took a completely different approach. The result was our incredibly capable, legendary comfortable, incredibly light and extremely fast Epic Hardtail.

Of course, we optimized every inch of the frame to create the lightest production hardtail in the world. That goes without saying. But our real goal was to develop a hardtail that combines performance with comfort. Aggressive geometry for single trails, more tire clearance and unprecedented vertical compliance, made possible solely by obsessive engineering, are now the hot facts of the Epic hardtail. A bike that embodies speed with every single fiber.

On the Epic Hardtail Comp, RockShox's never-disappointing SID SL suspension fork is tasked with smoothing the way for you, while the SRAM GX Eagle groupset leaves no doubt about its performance.

Highlights

• The extremely light and off-road-loving FACT 11m carbon frame is refreshingly comfortable and fundamentally changes your expectations of a hardtail
• The Rush RL damper unit from RockShox guides you quietly and smoothly through the travel of the SID SL, while the adjustment options of the Debon Air air spring allow you to quickly adapt your suspension to your needs
• The SRAM GX Eagle groupset sets standards in the mid-performance range and stands for durability and pleasantly crisp gear shifting
