Less than a pound lighter than the Epic 8 and it looks like you lose the downtube storage. I bet they nixed the bar stops as well. TBD whether it handles/rides significantly different. I’m sure it’s a great bike and they will move some units. Is there enough there to push someone to upgrade from an Epic 8? I’m sure there will be some takers who always buy the latest/greatest or really value weight. I assume the epic 8 frame will continue as an “Evo” with the downtube storage?
