Business in the front, party in the back���this could be an accurate way to describe the Epic Expert Carbon. It features a carbon fiber chassis and a durable M5 aluminum rear end in order to achieve the perfect blend of lightweight, stiffness, and durability. Maximizing these performance characteristics is our Brain technology at the fork and rear shock. What's Brain? It's an intelligent system that's able to interpret the difference between rider and trail input, so it stays firm under effort and plush over bumps. Meanwhile, our XC 29 Geometry ensures nimble handling and an efficient power transfer, and it's purpose-built to run double-ring setups for an ultra-wide range of gears. And to round everything out are a build kit and carbon wheels that deliver equal parts durability and high performance.
