Strengths: Extremely stiff and aero frame and fork. Makes a great time trial ride. Stiffer than my Calfee tetra at one quarter of the cost.Weaknesses: None really, The extra stiffness makes for great power transmission but the rougher ride can be uncomfortable sometimes. Most of the roughness can be reduced by using wheels other than the Rolf vector pro. Even the Rolf Vigor has a smoother ride.Bottom Line: Purchased frame and fork 2 years ago. Bike built up with Durace 9 speed and Rolf Vector pro wheels. Did not ride the bike much because I had a Colnago CT1 which was an easier ride. I just purchased the EPX to try a full carbon bike out. Very eye catching bike even next to a Colnago.
Favorite Ride: EPX Nullarbor

$500.00
Purchased At: EPX
Similar Products Used: Santa Cruz, Merlin, Airborne , Colnago CT1, Calfee tetra.

Strengths: Everything! Especially the stiffness with shock absorption.Weaknesses: Still looking, can't find one.Bottom Line: This bike rides like a dream. Strong Carbon frame. Frame is so tight, I'll need better wheels to match it. It's turned me into a speed junky. Great up and down hills.

Strengths: Stiff, very comfortable, descends like a beast, lightWeaknesses: Not sure about the warranty. still waiting to hear from EPXBottom Line: I wanted to get something up here quick to tell anyone who is considering buying an EPX to go for it. What an incredible value! I got a great deal on this bike because my LBS could not move it based on brand recognition.(or should I say lack of it) This frame is high quality. It climbs amazingly and corners/descends agressively. And the ride...all of the stiffness of my aluminum frame with none of the abuse from the road. i'm serious here, this bike accelerates very well.I bought this bike for the cost of the build kit and I got an incredible carbon fiber frame to boot. But after owning it I would buy it again even if it were priced higher.
Favorite Ride: hills
Price Paid:
$2000.00
