With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

With all of the growth in full-suspension XC bikes hardtails were starting to become a little same old same old. So we thought to ourselves what better time then now to shake things up with a modern revolutionary design? Say hello to the Epic Hardtail Expert Carbon World Cup.It's one of the lightest frames we've ever made tipping the scales around 1175g. And to do so we built the entyre frame from our superlative carbon fibre FACT 10m and then we took some cues from our road bikes. We borrowed the Rider-First Engineeredâ„¢ concept that originated with the Tarmac. Now the frame design applies specificity to every tube size and carbon layup for every frame size. This creates the optimal balance of rigidity weight and responsiveness so every frame regardless of size performs just as we intended.We've also tweaked the geometry for more speed and stability by slacking-out the head tube angle lengthening the top tube and correcting the seat tube angle. This way it feels more planted then ever and frankly it's stupid fast. We also widened the rear spacing to 12x148mm and included internal split-housing cable routing. For the build this Epic hits right on the money opting for a custom-tuned RockShox SID w/ Brain fork SRAM X1 shifting and fast rolling Roval Control wheels.
