Specialized S-Works Epic 8 2024

https://youtu.be/hDuigUomzJg If you’re an XC racer or prioritize top speed on your ride, the Epic 8 is the bike for you.

• UNMATCHED CAPACITY: The most capable 120mm bike on the planet.
  You’ll be amazed at how the Epic 8’s progressive geometry delivers technical capability on the ground along with fast, efficient acceleration and climb performance.
  The absurd lateral and torsional rigidity of the chassis also translates into very precise handling.
• WHAT HITS?: Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more shock and vibration than the previous generation, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time so you can keep pushing while they suffer.
• RIDE DYNAMICS TUNED: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valves for the Epic 8’s new shock.
  Our unique damping features prescribed by Ride Dynamics comprehensively elevate the riding experience.
  By tweaking the shocks along with chassis leverage 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 pedal-induced inefficient roll by 20%, while keeping the suspension active for effective shock force management, to ensure you stay in the most efficient riding position.
  It’s the most efficient pedal suspension bike we’ve ever tested.
• MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8, we didn’t spend an extra gram to get mega capacity from the frame.
  All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all the essentials of the trail and an integrated head stop to prevent the ubiquitous scar of the top tube the first time you crash and the handlebars turn.
  In fact, the new S-Works Epic 8 frame has even lost weight (76 grams to be exact) while gaining these new additions.
• ROCKSHOX FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Free your mind to quickly focus on the heat of the moment.
  Specialized Ride Dynamics-Tuned RockShox Flight Attendant (on S-Works models) leverages SRAM AXS Wireless technology to collect real-time data about you and the terrain to determine the optimal compression settings and deliver an unmatched rider experience.
• The most capable 120mm bike on the planet.
  12% more shock absorption and 20% less pedal roll.
