The shop's feature list
- Specialized Epic 9 Expert Gloss Carbon / White 2027 | Marathon-Tour
- Evolution der Schnelligkeit Das leichteste, schnellste und leistungsfähigste XC-Race Bike aller Zeiten Das Epic 9 vereint 24 Jahre erfolgreiche XC-Innovation im schnellsten Race Bike der Welt. Wir begannen mit dem weltbesten Epic 8 als Ausgangspunkt. Dann entfernten wir alles, was es ausbremste. 206 Gramm weniger Gewicht – das Epic 9 ist damit das leichteste vollgefederte XC Race Bike der Welt. Anschließend reduzierten wir die Reibung der Federung um 11 % und optimierten die Kinematik. Das Ergebnis: unübertroffene Effizienz, Leistungsfähigkeit und Geschwindigkeit pro Watt. Geschwindigkeit ergibt sich ganz natürlich aus einem Fahrrad, das so perfekt auf den Rider abgestimmt ist, dass es fast unsichtbar wird und nur noch das volle Potenzial des Riders zum Vorschein kommt.
