S-Works FACT 12m Carbon Frame with EVO Geometry

Shimano XTR Di2 – Electronic Race Precision

Equipped with the flagship Shimano XTR Di2 12-speed drivetrain, the Epic 8 EVO Di2 delivers lightning-fast, precise electronic shifting. A 4iiii power meter is integrated into the XTR crankset, while Shimano XTR 9220 four-piston hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful, consistent braking for aggressive downcountry riding.
