Additional Info
Bought this bike as an Epic 8 Expert late May of 2025. It is my first XC bike in something like 20 years. Have been on DH and trail/enduro bikes since forever. Holy crap is this thing good! I was expecting to feel really uncomfortable and held back, but not the case. I have been enjoying the bike so much that I decided to mess around with some XC races. Eventually started upgrading it from an Expert to what it is today. Still playing with tires since I know nothing about XC tires. Open to tire suggestions for XC racing in CO. Weight is as shown without bottles, computer, or anything in downtube.
