The all-new Epic 8 evolves the formula of fastest through capability, efficiency, and lightweight integration, making it the most efficient pedaling bike ever tested.

Modern XC tracks demand more and more capability by the day. Its improved kinematics make it the most efficient pedaling bike ever tested, while custom valved and tuned shocks soak up every bump. If you are an XC racer or prioritize all-out speed in your ride, the Epic 8 is the bike for you. Its progressive geometry delivers technical terrain capability alongside fast and efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The absurd lateral and torsional rigidity of the chassis translates to precision handling.

Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time. The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valving for Epic 8’s new shock. Their unique Ride Dynamics-prescribed damping characteristics holistically elevate the riding experience. By tuning the dampers alongside the chassis’ leverage rates and new kinematics, they are able to deliver a bike that rides beyond the sum of its parts.

By optimizing the kinematics of the suspension, the Specialized Ride Dynamics team reduced inefficient pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, while maintaining active suspension for effective bump force management, to ensure you remain in the most efficient pedaling position. With the Epic 8, no extra gram was spent to get mega capability from the frame. All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials, and an integrated steering stop to prevent top tube damage. The new S-Works Epic 8 frameset has even lost 76 grams while gaining these new additions.

Features:

  • The most capable 120mm bike on the planet.
  • 12% more bump absorption and 20% less pedal bob.
  • Ride Dynamics developed SIDLuxe Select+ shock and SID Select+ fork.
  • Custom tuned shock features 3 unique damper settings.
  • Roval Control SL V carbon wheels excel everywhere from World Cup XC races to your favorite weekend trail.
  • SRAM Motive Bronze 4-Piston brakes feature trail-ready stopping power in a race-ready system.
  • No-compromise GX Eagle AXS Transmission provides smooth shifting all day, especially under load.
  • SWAT 4.0 in down tube to carry trail essentials.
