Specialized Epic 8 EVO Comp 2024

If you’re going on single tracks at breakneck speeds, the Epic 8 EVO is the bike for you.

• UNMATCHED CAPACITY: The most capable 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 EVO absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time.
  That opens up the options for another round (or 3).
• RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team has developed a custom valve for the new shock absorber of the Epic 8 EVO.
  Our team prescribes special damping features to holistically elevate the riding experience.
  By tweaking the shocks along with the chassis leverage rates and new kinematics, we can deliver a bike that rides above the sum of its parts.
• BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing suspension kinematics, Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team reduced inefficient pedaling-induced roll by 20%, keeping the suspension active for effective bump force management, to ensure you stay in the most efficient pedaling position.
  It’s the most pedal-efficient suspension bike we’ve ever tested.
• MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8 EVO, we haven’t spent an extra gram to get a bigger frame capacity.
  All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials, and an integrated head stop to prevent the ubiquitous scarring of the top tube the first time you fall and the handlebars turn.
• The most capable 120mm bike on the planet.
  12% more bump absorption and 20% less pedal roll.
