Epic 8 Expert

The new Epic 8 is the epitome of speed, combining the ability to tackle obstacles, efficiency, and lightness. Modern XC trails demand higher performance from bikes, which is why we have further perfected and refined the suspension kinematics on the Epic 8 to offer an even more efficient pedaling experience. The shock absorbers with custom specifications and tuning can absorb every impact, making the Epic 8 a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you are an XC racer aiming for maximum speed, the Epic 8 is the perfect bike.

Epic 8 Expert main features:

• GRANDE CAPACITA': 120mm travel and progressive geometry make the Epic 8 extremely capable on technical trails, very fast and efficient uphill, and incredibly responsive and agile in acceleration. The torsional and lateral stiffness ensures perfect handling precision.
• QUALI URTI? : Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more impact forces and vibrations, allowing you to tire less and use your energy to push harder on the pedals.
• RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has developed a custom tuning for the Epic 8's shock absorber, enhancing the holistic riding experience. The specific tuning, lever ratios, and renewed kinematics exponentially improve the ride.
• EFFICIENZA BIOMECCANICA: By optimizing the Epic 8's kinematics, the Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has reduced induced movement during pedaling by 20%, keeping the suspension active for more effective impact management. This allows the rider to maintain a more efficient pedaling position, resulting in the most efficient dual-suspension bike we have ever made.
• DI PIU' CON MENO: With the Epic 8, we have not added a single gram of weight to enhance its features. All models now come with SWAT 4.0 and an integrated steerer stop to prevent frame damage in case of falls.
