Specialized Epic 8 Evo Comp - Blue

Specialized Epic 8 Evo, the world's fastest downcountry bike. The EVO is the downcountry-friendly version of the Epic 8 thanks to its unparalleled combination of capacity, efficiency and light weight. The Epic 8 EVO with its kinematics is incredibly efficient on climbs, while Ride Dynamics tuned suspension absorbs impacts on obstacle-filled descents. If you love racing on singletrack at high speed with a group of friends, the Epic 8 EVO is for you.

• GREAT CAPACITY: 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. With a 130mm travel fork, the Epic 8 EVO is at home on the roughest descents.
• 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 has 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.
