Epic 8 Pro

The new Epic 8 is the epitome of speed, combining the ability to tackle obstacles, efficiency, and lightness. Modern XC trails demand increasingly high performance, 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 shock absorbers with specific custom settings can absorb every impact, making the Epic 8 a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you are an XC racer aiming for maximum speed, the Epic 8 is the perfect bike. GREAT 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 handling precision. WHAT BUMPS? Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more shock 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's shock absorber, enhancing the holistic riding experience. The specific tuning, lever ratios, and renewed 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 suspensions active for more effective shock management. This allows the rider to maintain a more efficient pedaling position. The result is the most efficient dual-suspension bike we have ever made. MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8, we haven't added a single gram of weight to enhance its features. All models now include SWAT 4.0 and an integrated stem stop to prevent frame damage in case of falls.
