Retaining the same FACT 11m carbon chassis and 120mm Ride Dynamics-developed suspension platform, the Pro trims additional weight while adding cutting-edge technology that helps riders go faster with less effort.
The biggest advancement comes from RockShox Flight Attendant suspension, an intelligent electronic system that automatically adjusts suspension settings in real time. By constantly analyzing rider input and terrain, Flight Attendant delivers the ideal balance of efficiency and control without requiring manual adjustments.
Why Choose the Epic 9 Pro?
Compared to the Epic 9 Expert, the Pro receives RockShox SID Ultimate Flight Attendant and SIDLuxe Ultimate Flight Attendant suspension, bringing World Cup-level automatic suspension optimization to every ride. The result is improved efficiency on climbs, enhanced traction in technical terrain, and seamless transitions between conditions.
The drivetrain is upgraded to SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission, providing lighter weight, enhanced durability, and even more refined shifting performance. Paired with the SRAM/Quarq X0 Eagle Power Meter crankset, the Pro delivers accurate power data for riders focused on training, racing, and performance analysis.
Wheel performance is elevated with the Roval Control SL VI carbon wheelset featuring DT Swiss 350 hubs and DT Revolution spokes. This lighter and more responsive package improves acceleration, climbing efficiency, and handling precision.
Additional upgrades include SRAM Motive Silver brakes for premium braking feel and modulation, a lightweight Bike Yoke Divine SL dropper post, and a Roval Control SL carbon handlebar that reduces weight while improving ride quality.
