Specialized Epic 8 Expert Di2 - White

The new bike Specialized Epic 8 is the exaltation of the concept of speed as the sum of the ability to tackle obstacles, efficiency, and lightness. Modern XC trails require increasingly high performance from bikes, and that's why the Epic 8 Specialized has further refined and perfected the suspension kinematics, offering an even more efficient ride. The shock absorbers with custom specifications and settings are capable of absorbing every impact, making the Epic 8 a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you're 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 snappy in acceleration. The torsional and lateral stiffness also guarantees perfect steering precision.
• WHAT IMPACTS?: Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more shock forces and vibrations, allowing you to tire less and use your energy more effectively 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 setting developed alongside the leverage ratios and the renewed kinematics exponentially improves 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 suspensions 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 stem lock to prevent frame damage in case of slips.
• The bike with 120mm travel that is the most capable. Greater shock absorption of 12%, and 20% less bobbing.
