Offering 100-millimeters of brilliantly efficient BRAIN-controlled travel, the Epics FACT 11m carbon frame increases rear-triangle stiffness for peerless power transfer and introduces the most capable handling in an Epic yet, all while shedding weight over the previous-generation Epic. The RockShox SID SL BRAIN fork serves up 100-millimeters of brilliantly controlled BRAIN travel while bringing damper adjustments top-side for quick, on-the-fly tweaks.

SRAM’s Level TLM brakes feature a one-piece monoblock caliper design that not only excels at shedding speed, but weight too.The SRAM XO1 Eagle AXS 12-speed rear derailleur not only offers some of the crispest shift around, it also manages to serve up a maximum 500-percent gear range while using a 10-percent shorter cage design to increase ground clearance over its mechanical counterpart.Descending from a long World Cup lineage, hand-built Roval Control Carbon wheels feature a modern 29-millimeter internal-width hookless rim, and maximize strength, ride quality, and durability while keeping weight to a minimum.

What do you get when you open up the taps on trickle-down technology? Thatd be the Epic Pro. A waterfall of performance coming straight down from Mount S-Works, the Epic Pro benefits from the most efficient suspension design weve ever created, not to mention a frame thats as light as the previous-generation S-Works while offering the same incredibly efficient power transfer of the current cream of the World Cup crop.

A Smarter BRAINMixing hardtail efficiency and full-suspension capability to impressively quick results, Epic has always been defined by an uncompromised commitment to speed. Well, that and over 100 World Cup wins and podiums too.True to form, the latest Epic continues the tradition, taking advantage of the most efficient BRAIN suspension weve ever created to ensure its always on a first-name-basis with fast.Re-engineered hand-in-hand with the new Epic, the latest BRAIN design resets the expectation for efficiency, employing a new Race-tuned pedaling platform to ensure every watt possible is translated into forward motion, while handily soaking up momentum-killing chatter and big hits alikeall more smoothly than ever.

Frame-ChangerRedesigned with a focus on efficient power transfer and better handling performance, the Epics all-new FACT 11m carbon frame features a 15-percent stiffer rear triangle in order to take full advantage of the BRAINs new Race-tuned pedaling platform, while the revised carbon layup of the front-triangle sheds weight, sending the Epics already sky-high stiffness-to-weight ratio even higher.

The Epic Pros Top-Adjust Position-Sensitive BRAIN fork allows for easy tuning on the fly, making suspension adjustments on course pre-rides a stress-free affair, while SRAMs XO1 Eagle AXS electronic group takes notes from BRAINs telepathic performance, firing off shifts with lightning-fast precision.
