Epic Marathon |
DO YOU KNOW HOW FAST YOU WERE GOING? The Epic® is the fastest mountain bike in the world, with a World Championship and a string of World Cup victories to prove it. Our new FlowControl Brain allows the Epic's AFR rear shock to instantaneously transition between firm and fully active settings, enhancing both efficiency and control. For race situations or just high-performance riding, the Epic's Brain can be dialed to a hardtail firm setting, guaranteeing maximum efficiency on both rough and smooth terrain. |
