SPECIALIZED EPIC 8 PRO BIKE

The new Epic 8 embodies the concept of speed as the sum of the ability to tackle obstacles, efficiency, and lightness. Modern XC courses demand higher performance from bikes, which is why we've further refined the suspension kinematics on the Epic 8, offering even more efficient pedaling. The custom-tuned shocks 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 for you.

SPECIALIZED EPIC 8 PRO KEY FEATURES:

• EXCEPTIONAL CAPABILITY: With 120mm of travel and progressive geometry, the Epic 8 is extremely capable on technical trails, very fast and efficient uphill, and incredibly responsive and snappy during acceleration. Its torsional and lateral stiffness also ensures precise handling.
• IMPACT? WHAT IMPACT?: Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more shock and vibrations, reducing fatigue so you can save your energy for maximum pedaling power.
• RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has developed a custom tuning for the Epic 8’s shock, elevating the holistic riding experience. The specific tuning, combined with the lever ratios and refined kinematics, exponentially enhances the ride quality.
• BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the kinematics of the Epic 8, the Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has reduced pedal-induced movement by 20%, while keeping the suspension active for more effective shock management. This allows the rider to maintain the most efficient pedaling position, making it the most efficient full-suspension bike we've ever built.
• MORE WITH LESS: We didn't add a single gram of weight to improve the Epic 8’s features. All models now include SWAT 4.0 and an integrated steering lock to prevent frame damage in the event of a fall.
