Gone are the days when riding a hardtail XC bike meant suffering for days afterward. The Epic Hardtail Comp completely changes the game, offering a stunning combination of comfort and performance in a feather-light package, making you count the minutes until your next ride.
For years, the race to create the lightest bike was the ultimate goal—but at what cost? Many hardtail XC bikes sacrificed comfort and versatility in the quest for reduced weight, resulting in harsh, twitchy rides.
But who says being uncomfortable makes you faster? We believe the fastest bike isn’t just the lightest—it’s the one that balances comfort and capability. That’s why we ditched the jarring ride and created the Epic Hardtail: shockingly capable, surprisingly comfortable, and astonishingly light—yet undeniably fast.
Of course, we still optimised every inch of the Epic Hardtail frame to make it the lightest production hardtail on the market. But we also focused on creating a bike that doesn’t just perform well—it excels in comfort and handling. With aggressive singletrack-inspired geometry, increased tire clearance, and a frame engineered for vertical compliance, the Epic Hardtail is built to deliver on both speed and ride quality.
The Epic Hardtail Comp features the renowned RockShox SID SL fork, known for its smooth suspension, while the full SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain ensures precise, reliable performance at an accessible price point.
Ridiculously light, incredibly capable, and surprisingly comfortable, the Epic Hardtail’s dropper-post compatible FACT 11m carbon frame redefines what a hardtail can be.
With the RockShox SID SL, featuring the Rush RL damper and DebonAir adjustability, suspension performance is easily fine-tuned to suit any rider or terrain.
SRAM’s GX Eagle drivetrain continues to set the benchmark for affordable, high-performance shifting—raising the bar even higher with its latest iteration.

Cycle to Work Scheme: Affordable Riding for UK Employees
Unlock a cost-effective way to own the bike of your dreams through the Cycle to Work Scheme. This initiative, available to employees in the UK, lets you enjoy the benefits of cycling while saving on your bike purchase.
With the Cycle to Work Scheme, you can use your pre-tax salary to acquire a brand-new bicycle and essential cycling accessories. This means significant savings for you, as your salary sacrifice reduces both your income tax and National Insurance contributions.
The process is seamless: Choose the bike that suits your needs and budget from our extensive range. Your employer will then set up a salary sacrifice arrangement, spreading the cost of your bike over a specified period, typically 12 to 18 months.
Once the salary sacrifice period ends, you have the option to own the bike outright for a nominal fee, ensuring you get to keep and enjoy your trusted two-wheeled companion for years to come.
