{"product_id":"specialized-epic-9-expert","title":"SPECIALIZED EPIC 9 EXPERT","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"642\" data-start=\"180\"\u003eThe Specialized Epic 9 Expert represents one of the most advanced expressions of modern cross country: a full-suspension mountain bike designed for those seeking maximum efficiency, lightness, and speed in races and the most demanding XC rides. Born from 24 years of development and innovation in the world of cross country competitions, the Epic 9 carries forward the legacy of the Epic platform, elevating it further in terms of performance, integration, and efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1184\" data-start=\"644\"\u003eStarting from the winning foundation of the Epic 8, Specialized worked to further lighten the structure and optimize the bike's dynamic behavior. The result is an even more responsive, more efficient, and faster platform, designed to convert every watt produced by the rider into real speed on the trail. The 11% reduction in suspension friction and the refinement of the kinematics allow for an even smoother and more rewarding performance, both in accelerations and technical sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1682\" data-start=\"1186\"\u003eThe FACT 11m carbon frame with Progressive XC Race geometry was developed to deliver precise, modern, and balanced handling, perfect for the demands of contemporary XC racing. The Rider-First Engineered approach ensures consistent response across different frame sizes, while 120 mm of travel allows you to tackle technical trails, flowing descents, and rough sections with more confidence and speed, without sacrificing the pedaling efficiency typical of a race bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2093\" data-start=\"1684\"\u003eThe suspension system consists of a 120 mm RockShox SID Select+ fork and a RockShox SIDLuxe Select+ rear shock with TwistLoc remote control, both developed with Ride Dynamics. This setup guarantees an excellent balance of support, sensitivity, and absorption capability, making the Epic 9 Expert extremely effective both on climbs and in more guided, technical sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2474\" data-start=\"2095\"\u003eThe SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission drivetrain completes a platform designed for modern racing, with precise, solid, and reliable wireless shifting even under load. The 10-52T cassette offers a very wide range, ideal for tackling steep climbs and fast sections with maximum versatility, while the SRAM GX Eagle DUB crankset ensures efficiency and robustness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2958\" data-start=\"2476\"\u003eThe SRAM Motive Bronze 4-piston braking system, with a 180 mm rotor at the front and 160 mm at the rear, delivers powerful and controllable braking, very useful on modern XC courses where average speeds increase and downhill control becomes increasingly important. The Roval Control SL V carbon wheels with a 29 mm internal channel and DT Swiss 370 hubs offer an excellent mix of lightness, stiffness, and reliability, contributing to a responsive, precise, and fast ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3314\" data-start=\"2960\"\u003eA completare l’allestimento troviamo componenti selezionati per offrire prestazioni concrete e controllo: attacco Roval Alloy XC, manubrio Specialized Alloy Minirise, reggisella telescopico X-Fusion Manic e pneumatici Specialized Fast Trak e Air Trak da 29x2.35, una combinazione perfetta per il cross country racing e per le uscite XC ad alta intensità.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3576\" data-start=\"3316\"\u003eThe Specialized Epic 9 Expert is therefore the ideal choice for those who want a modern, lightweight, and high-performance full-suspension XC mountain bike, designed to race, push hard, and tackle the fastest trails with maximum efficiency and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6
