Ellsworth Epiphany

As one of the lightest 5.25″ travel bikes in the world, the Epiphany offers a slightly more relaxed geometry than the 4″ Truth, more travel and all without a significant weight penalty. The Epiphany was selected as Outside Magazine’s Mountain Bike of the Year, and has also been called “The Holy Grail of Trail Bikes” by industry media.**Picture is of the frame and is just for illustration purposes only.
