Specialized Epic 8 Comp - White

The new Specialized Epic 8 bike is the exaltation of the concept of speed as the sum of the ability to deal with obstacles, efficiency and lightness. Modern XC trails demand ever-higher performance from the vehicles, and that is why on the Epic 8 Specialized has further refined and refined the suspension kinematics going so far as to offer even more efficient pedaling. Shock absorbers with custom specifications and calibrations are able to absorb every impact and make the Epic 8 a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you are an XC racer and your goal is maximum speed, the Epic 8 is the perfect bike.

• GREAT CAPACITY: The 120mm travel and progressive geometry make the Epic 8 extremely capable on technical trails, very fast and efficient on climbs, and incredibly responsive and snappy on acceleration. In addition, the torsional and lateral stiffness ensures perfect steering precision.
• WHAT SHOCK? : Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more shock forces and vibrations, so you'll tire less so you can better use your energy to push hard on the pedals.
• RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team developed a custom calibration for the Epic 8's shock absorber, the features of which elevate the holistic riding experience. The specific calibration developed along with the lever ratios and revamped kinematics improve the ride exponentially.
• BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the kinematics of the Epic 8, the Specialized Ride Dynamics Team reduced the pedaling-induced movement by 20 percent while maintaining active suspension for more effective shock management. Thus the rider is able to maintain the most efficient pedaling position. The result is the most efficient suspension bike we have ever made.
• MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8, we didn't add a single gram of weight to improve its features. All models now include SWAT 4.0 and an integrated steering stop to prevent frame damage in the event of a slip.
