The new Epic 8 evolves the formula of speed through capacity, efficiency and light integration. The modern XC tracks increasingly demand day-to-day capacity. Epic 8. Its improved kinematic makes it the most efficient pedal bike we have tried, while the custom (and adjusted) buffers absorb each bache. It's a wolf with wolf skin.
If you are an XC racer or prioritise the absolute speed on your journey, the Epic 8 is the bike for you.
INIGUALITY: The most capable 120mm bike on the planet. You will be surprised how Epic 8's progressive geometry delivers capacity on technical terrain along with rapid and efficient performance on climbs and accelerations.
WHAT BACHE?: Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more forces of shocks and vibrations than the previous generation, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time so that you can keep moving while others suffer.
DINTONIZATION OF CONDUCTION DINAMIC: The Specialized Driving Dynamics team developed a custom fit for the new Epic 8 damper. Our unique damping features, prescribed by Ride Dynamics, holistically elevate the driving experience. By adjusting the buffers along with the chassis lever rates and the new kinematics, we can offer a bicycle that goes beyond the sum of its parts.
BIOMECANICA EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the kinematic of the suspension, the Ride Dynamics team of Specialized reduced the inefficient balance caused by the pedaling by 20%, while maintaining an active suspension for effective management of the potholes, ensuring that you remain in the most efficient pedaling position. It's the most efficient suspension bike we've tried.
MORE WITH LESS: With Epic 8, we don't spend a single extra gram to get maximum frame capacity. All models now have SWAT 4.0 to carry all of your essential path elements, and an integrated direction cap to avoid the ubiquitous top tube scar the first time you get stars and your handlebars spin. In fact, the new Epic 8 S-Works picture has lost weight (76 grams to be exact) while obtaining these new additions.
