S-Works Epic 8

The new Epic 8 is the epitome of the concept of speed as a combination of the ability to tackle obstacles, efficiency, and lightness. Modern XC trails demand increasingly high 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 shocks with specific custom settings can absorb every impact, making the Epic 8 a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you are an XC racer and your goal is maximum speed, the Epic 8 is the perfect bike.

S-Works Epic 8 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. Torsional and lateral stiffness also ensure 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 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 the most efficient pedaling position. The result is the most efficient dual-suspension bike we have ever made.
• DI PIU' CON MENO: With the Epic 8, we haven't added a single gram to improve its characteristics. All models now feature SWAT 4.0 and an integrated steerer stop to prevent frame damage in case of falls. 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 ideal compression settings, creating an unparalleled experience for the rider.
