BICYCLE SPECIALIZED EPIC 8 COMP

BICYCLE SPECIALIZED EPIC 8 COMP

The new Epic 8 is the exaltation of the concept of speed as the sum of the ability to face obstacles, efficiency, and lightness. Modern XC courses demand ever higher performance from the bikes, which is why on the Epic 8 we have further refined and tuned the suspension kinematics to offer an even more efficient pedaling. The shocks with custom specifications and calibrations are able to absorb every impact and make the Epic 8 a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you are an XC racer and your goal is maximum speed, the Epic 8 is the perfect bike.

GREAT CAPACITY: the 120mm travel and progressive geometry make the Epic 8 extremely capable on technical trails, very fast and efficient uphill and incredibly responsive and quick in acceleration. The torsional and lateral stiffness also guarantee perfect handling precision.

WHAT COUNTS? : Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more impact and vibration forces, so you get less tired and can use energy to push hard on the pedals.

RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has developed a custom tuning for the Epic 8 shock, whose features elevate the holistic riding experience. The tuned setup developed together with the lever ratios and renewed kinematics exponentially improve handling.

BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the Epic 8 kinematics, the Specialized Ride Dynamics Team reduced pedal-phase movement by 20% while keeping the suspensions active for more effective impact management. This allows the rider to maintain the most efficient pedaling position. The result is the most efficient dual-suspension we have ever built.

MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8 we did not add a single gram of weight to improve its characteristics. All models now include SWAT 4.0 and an integrated headset stopper to prevent frame damage in case of a slip.
