Specialized Epic 8 Comp - Purple

The new Specialized Epic 8 bike is the exaltation of the concept of speed as a sum of the ability to tackle obstacles, efficiency, and lightness. Modern XC trails require increasingly higher performance from bikes, which is why Specialized has further perfected and refined the suspension kinematics on the Epic 8, offering an even more efficient ride. The shock absorbers, equipped with custom specifications and settings, are capable of absorbing every impact, making the Epic 8 a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you are an XC competitor 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 uphill, and incredibly responsive and quick in acceleration. The torsional and lateral stiffness also ensures perfect steering precision.
• WHICH IMPACTS?: Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more shock forces and vibrations, allowing you to tire less and make the best use of energy to push hard on the pedals.
• RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has developed a custom setting for the Epic 8's shock absorber, whose characteristics elevate the holistic riding experience. The specific tuning developed along with the leverage ratios and renewed kinematics exponentially improve the ride.
• BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the kinematics of the Epic 8, the Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has reduced the induced movement during pedaling by 20%, keeping the suspension active for more effective shock management. This way, the rider can maintain the most efficient pedaling position. The result is the most efficient dual-suspension bike we have ever made.
• MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8, we did not add a single gram of weight to improve its features. All models now include SWAT 4.0 and an integrated headset lock to prevent frame damage in case of slips.
