Its enhanced kinematics make it the most efficient pedaling bike ever tested, while custom-tuned shocks ensure a smooth ride over every obstacle. This is a true performance machine in every sense.

For XC racers or those seeking maximum speed, the Epic 8 is your ultimate ride.

With unrivaled 120mm capability, the Epic 8's progressive geometry excels on technical terrain while maintaining swift climbing and acceleration. Its remarkable chassis rigidity ensures precision handling.

Compared to its predecessor, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more bumps and vibrations, reducing rider fatigue and enhancing power output.

Specialized's Ride Dynamics team meticulously crafted custom shock valving, complementing the bike's kinematics for an unparalleled riding experience. This holistic approach enhances overall performance.

Optimised suspension kinematics minimise pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, maintaining active suspension for efficient pedaling without sacrificing bump absorption.

Despite its mega capability, the Epic 8 remains lightweight. All models feature SWAT 4.0 for trail essentials storage and an integrated steering stop to prevent damage. The S-Works Epic 8 frameset has shed weight while gaining these features.
