Epic 9 Expert hits the sharpest price-to-performance balance in the Epic line: the same FACT 11m carbon frame as the Pro and S-Works, with SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission and Roval Control SL V carbon wheels. A serious XC race bike for riders ready to step up from alloy.

Why Epic 9

1,589 g frame — the lightest full-suspension XC frame Specialized have ever produced (–206 g vs Epic 8).
11 % lower suspension friction — refined kinematics deliver more control, traction, and composure at race speed.
Dynamic Trio damping — Wide Open / Magic Middle / Sprint-On-Lock, integrated through the Ride Dynamics system.
Body Geometry-derived geometry — balanced for modern XC courses, optimised for efficiency and control.
"The bike becomes an extension of me. You just let the experience ride itself." — Christopher Blevins

Key Features

FACT 11m Carbon frame, Rider-First Engineered, threaded BB
RockShox SID Select+ fork + SIDLuxe Select+ rear shock with TwistLoc remote
SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission, 12-speed wireless
Roval Control SL V hookless carbon wheels, 29 mm internal width
X-Fusion Manic dropper post + SRAM Motive Bronze 4-piston brakes

Why You'll Love It

Carbon Roval wheels and AXS shifting at this price point is rare air. For Mackay riders racing the QLD XC series or putting in big laps at Finch Hatton and the Pioneer Valley, the Expert is the value pick of the carbon Epic 9 family. Sized and fitted in-store by Mackay Cycles.

Full Shipping Policy

1. General Shipping Information

Parts, Clothing and Accessories are shipped via Australia Post or other parcel courier. Bicycles, Frame-sets and indoor smart-bike trainers are shipped via specialist bike courier services to ensure they arrive in suitable condition.

2. Warehouse-Supplied Items

Some items on our website are supplied directly from brand warehouses interstate. Where this applies, the product page shows a note such as "Available to Order from [Brand] Warehouse — ships to Mackay Cycles, then ready for Click & Collect or local delivery in approx. 5–7 working days."

These items route through our Mackay store before dispatch, so we can check, pack and freight them properly. Please allow the stated working days for the item to arrive with us before it's dispatched to you.

A small number of items ship direct from the supplier to your address — where that applies, the product page will say so.

Click & Collect is available as a separate option at checkout.
