Specialized Epic 8 Comp 2024

If you’re an XC racer or prioritize absolute speed on your ride, the Epic 8 is the bike for you.

• UNMATCHED CAPACITY: The most capable 120mm bike on the planet, now even more capable.
  You’ll be amazed at how the Epic 8 EVO’s progressive geometry offers technical terrain capability along with fast and efficient climbing and acceleration performance.
  The absurd lateral and torsional rigidity of the chassis also translates into very precise handling.
  With 130mm of travel up front and a host of features that make trail riding easier, the Epic 8 EVO feels right at home on rough terrain.
• WHAT BUMPS?: Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more shock and vibration forces than the previous generation, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time so you can keep moving forward while others suffer.
• RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Driving Dynamics team developed a custom tuning for the Epic 8’s new shock.
  Our unique damping characteristics, prescribed by Ride Dynamics, holistically elevate the riding experience.
  By tweaking the shocks along with the chassis lever rates and new kinematics, we can deliver a bike that goes beyond the sum of its parts.
• BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing suspension kinematics, Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team reduced inefficient pedal-driven roll by 20%, while maintaining active suspension for effective bump force management, ensuring you stay in the most efficient pedaling position.
  It’s the most efficient pedaling suspension bike we’ve tested.
• MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8, we didn’t spend a single extra gram to get maximum frame capacity.
  All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials, and an integrated head stop to prevent the ubiquitous top tube scar the first time you crash and your handlebars spin.
  In fact, the new frame of the Epic 8 S-Works has lost weight (76 grams to be exact) while getting these new additions.
• The most capable 120mm bike on the planet.
  12% more bump absorption and 20% less pedal roll.
