As this is not a brand new bike, it may not feature the full original technical specification and is subject to change.

Introducing the revolutionary Specialized Epic 8 Full Suspension Mountain Bike, redefining speed, efficiency, and integration in mountain biking. As XC trails become increasingly demanding, the Epic 8 rises to the challenge. 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.

The new Specialized Epic 8 stands as the epitome of excellence for XC racers. With its unmatched capability and efficiency, it's tailored to meet the demands of competitive racing. The bike's progressive geometry ensures agility on technical terrain while maintaining exceptional climbing and acceleration performance. Its lightweight yet sturdy construction, coupled with meticulously tuned suspension, allows riders to push their limits with confidence. Whether navigating challenging trails or sprinting towards the finish line, the Epic 8 delivers the precision, speed, and reliability that XC racers demand.
