Yes, this is a comprehensive set. It includes the essential alloy axles, bolts, and precision-machined spacers required to service all the pivot points on your 2021 Epic frame.

You will need standard bike maintenance tools, specifically a high-quality torque wrench. Because these components are engineered to exact factory specifications, using a torque wrench is critical to ensure the hardware is tightened to the correct Nm values listed in the specifications.

Over time, pivot hardware can develop micro-wear or fatigue that causes unwanted play in your frame, which affects suspension kinematics. Replacing the hardware with factory-spec parts eliminates that play and restores the quiet, smooth performance your bike had when it was new.

Yes, these bolts have specific torque requirements ranging from 6 Nm to 10 Nm depending on the location. Always refer to the specifications provided with the kit or your bike's service manual to ensure you don't over-tighten and damage the alloy components.
