SPECIALIZED EPIC S-WORKS 8 BIKE

The new Epic 8 is the epitome of speed, combining the ability to tackle obstacles with efficiency and lightness. Modern XC trails demand increasingly high-performance bikes, which is why we've further perfected and refined the suspension kinematics of the Epic 8 to offer even more efficient pedaling. Custom-tuned shock absorbers are capable of absorbing every impact, making the Epic 8 a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you're an XC racer and your goal is maximum speed, the Epic 8 is the perfect bike for you.

ENHANCED 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 agile in acceleration. The torsional and lateral stiffness also ensures perfect steering precision.

WHAT BUMPS? Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more shock forces and vibrations, so you'll tire less and can use your energy to push harder on the pedals.

RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has developed custom tuning for the Epic 8's shock absorber, enhancing the holistic riding experience. The specific tuning, combined with lever ratios and the redesigned kinematics, exponentially improve the ride.

BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: 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. The result is the most efficient dual-suspension bike we've ever created.

DOING MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8, we haven't added a single gram of weight to improve its characteristics. All models now feature SWAT 4.0 and an integrated steerer stop to prevent frame damage in case of crashes.

The new S-Works Epic 8 frame is even lighter by 76 grams, despite adding these features.

ROCKSHOX FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Free your mind to focus on the race. The Specialized Ride Dynamics RockShox Flight Attendant (on S-Works models) in conjunction with SRAM AXS Wireless technology collects real-time data to determine the ideal compression settings, creating an unparalleled experience for the rider.
