BICYCLE SPECIALIZED EPIC 8 PRO 2026
The new Epic 8 embodies the acceleration of velocity as the sum of the ability to tackle obstacles, efficiency, and lightness. Modern XC courses demand ever-higher performance from bikes, and that’s why on the Epic 8 we have further refined and tuned the suspension kinematics to offer an even more efficient pedaling feel. The shocks with custom specifications and calibrations can absorb every impact, making the Epic 8 a wolf in sheep’s clothing. If you are a XC racer and your goal is maximum speed, the Epic 8 is the perfect bike.
BIG CAPACITY: the 120mm travel and progressive geometry make the Epic 8 extremely capable on technical trails, very fast and efficient on climbs, and incredibly responsive and snappy in acceleration. The torsional and lateral stiffness also guarantees perfect handling precision.
WHAT TYPES OF IMPACTS? : Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more impact forces and vibrations, so you get less fatigue and can use energy more effectively to push the pedals to the limit.
RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team developed a custom calibration for the Epic 8’s shock, whose characteristics elevate the holistic riding experience. The specific calibration developed together with lever ratios and the renewed kinematics dramatically improve handling.
BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the Epic 8’s kinematics, the Specialized Ride Dynamics Team reduced pedal-induced movement by 20% while 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 full-suspension we have ever made.
MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8 we did not add a single gram of weight to improve its characteristics. All models now feature SWAT 4.0 and an integrated headset stopper to prevent frame damage in case of slips.
MAIN FEATURES OF THE 2026 BICI SPECIALIZED EPIC 8 PRO:
- The higher-capacity rear suspension with 120mm travel. Greater shock absorption by 12%, and 20% less bobbing.
- RockShox SIDLuxe ULTIMATE shock developed with Ride Dynamics and SID ULTIMATE fork.
- Three shock settings with dedicated tuning.
- Roval Control carbon wheels, race-ready.
- Supplied with Quarq Spindle power meter
- SRAM Level Silver 4-piston brakes
- XO Eagle Transmission
- SWAT 4.0 integrated container in the down tube.
