If riding singletrack at breakneck speeds and high-fiving your friends is your idea of fun, the Epic 8 EVO is the bike for you.<\/p>\n
UNMATCHED CAPACITY:<\/strong> The most capable 120mm bike on the planet, even more capable. You’ll be amazed at how the Epic 8 EVO’s progressive geometry delivers technical terrain capability along with fast, efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The frame’s incredible lateral and torsional stiffness also translates into precision handling. With up to 130mm of increased front travel for shock absorption and a host of trail-tuned specs, the Epic 8 EVO feels right at home on rough terrain. <\/p>\n WHAT A PULSE:<\/strong> Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 EVO absorbs 12% more shock and vibration, leaving you less fatigued and giving you more power in the long run. This gives you the ability to go another lap (or three). <\/p>\n ADJUSTED RIDE DYNAMICS:<\/strong> The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valving for the new Epic 8 EVO shock. Our team prescribes the special damping characteristics to enhance the overall riding experience. By tuning the shocks along with the frame leverage rates and new kinematics, we are able to deliver a bike that performs more than the sum of its components. <\/p>\n BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY:<\/strong> By optimizing suspension kinematics, Specialized’s Pedaling Dynamics team reduced inefficient pedal roll by 20%, keeping the suspension active for efficient impact force management, ensuring optimal pedaling position. It’s the most efficient pedal suspension bike we’ve tested. <\/p>\n FULLY EQUIPPED:<\/strong> All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all trail essentials and an integrated steering stop to avoid the typical scar on the top tube at the first drop and handlebar skid.<\/p>\n -The most capable 120 mm bike on the planet. 12% more shock absorption and 20% less pedal roll. Specialized Alloy 34seat clamp<\/strong>.9, titanium bolt<\/li>\n The world’s fastest downhill bike. The Epic 8 EVO is the upgraded and optimized version of the new Epic 8. Designed to dominate downhill with its unmatched combination of capability, efficiency and lightness, the Epic 8 EVO’s updated kinematics allow for incredible efficiency on climbs, while the Ride Dynamics shock devours rough terrain on descents. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":407285,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2449,358],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-425332","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-bicycles","7":"product_cat-mountain","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-variable","15":"wvs-archive-product-wrapper"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
