SPECIALIZED EPIC 8 COMP BIKE

SPECIALIZED EPIC 8 COMP BIKE

The new Epic 8 is the exaltation of the concept of speed as somma of the ability to tackle obstacles, efficiency and lightness. Modern XC courses demand ever higher performance from equipment, and ecco why on the Epic 8 we have further refined and perfected the suspension kinematics, delivering an even more efficient pedaling. Shocks with custom specs and tuning can absorb every impact and make the Epic 8 a wolf dressed as agnello. If you are an XC racer and your goal is maximum speed, the Epic 8 is the perfect bike.

GREAT CAPABILITY: The 120mm travel and progressive geometry make the Epic 8 extremely capable on technical trails, very fast and efficient uphill, and incredibly responsive and snappy under acceleration. Torsional and lateral stiffness also ensure perfect steering precision.

WHAT BUMPS?: Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more impact forces and vibrations, so you get less tired and can use your energy better to push the pedals to the max.

RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has developed a custom shock tune for the Epic 8, whose characteristics elevate the holistic riding experience. The specific tune developed together with the leverage ratios and renewed kinematics exponentially improves handling.

BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the kinematics of the Epic 8, the Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has reduced pedal-induced movement by 20% while keeping the suspension active for more effective bump management. This way the rider can maintain the most efficient pedaling position. The result is the most efficient full-suspension we have ever built.

MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8 we didn’t add a single gram of weight to improve its characteristics. All models now include SWAT 4.0 and an integrated steering stop to prevent frame damage in the caso of slides.
