The new Epic 8 evolves the fastest formula through capacity, efficiency and light integration. Modern XC tracks demand more capacity every day. Epic 8. Its improved kinematic makes it the most efficient pedal bike we have ever tried, while the dampers with custom valves (and adjusted) absorb each bache. It's a wolf with wolf skin.
If you're an XC racer or prioritise the speed in your outputs, the Epic 8 is your bike.
INIGUALITY: The most capable 120mm bike on the planet. You will be surprised how Epic 8's progressive geometry delivers capacity for technical terrain along with rapid and efficient performance in ups and accelerations. The absurd lateral and torsional stiffness of the chassis also translates into a very precise management: Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more potent pots and vibrations, leaving you less fatigued and stronger with the passage of time so you can keep pushing while they suffer.
DINÁMICA DE CONDUCTION AJUSTED: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team has developed a customized valve for the new Epic 8 damper. Our exclusive damping features prescribed by Ride Dynamics integrally elevate the driving experience. Adjusting the dampers along with the chassis leverage rates and the new kinematics, we are able to offer a bicycle that is driven beyond the sum of its parts.
The new Specialized Epic 8 has been designed to provide a unique driving experience.
BIOMECANICA EFFICIENCY: Optimizing the kinematic of the suspension, the Ride Dynamics team of Specialized has reduced the inefficient balance induced by the pedaling by 20%, while maintaining the active suspension for effective management of the potholes, to ensure that you remain in the most efficient pedaling position. It's the most efficient pedal suspension bike we've ever tried.
MORE WITH LESS: With Epic 8, we have not spent a gram of more to obtain a maximum capacity of the picture. All models now incorporate SWAT 4.0 to transport all your essential objects, and an integrated steering cap to avoid the omnipresent scar in the upper tube the first time you fall and the handlebar rotates. In fact, the new S-Works Epic 8 box has even lost weight (76 grams to be exact) while winning these new additions.
