The 'Epic World Cup' mountain bicycle features a range of technical tweaks that enable it to offer phenomenal performance. This includes an independently adjusted air spring that allows for a high degree of customization that riders can engage depending on their race situation. Elsewhere, the bike features physical elements such as increased slack in the head angle to allow for faster downhill biking. Available in a variety of options, the 'Epic World Cup' mountain bicycles can be procured for prices ranging from $6,500 up to $12,000.
