SPECIALIZED EPIC S-WORKS 8 BIKE

SPECIALIZED EPIC S-WORKS 8 BIKE

The new Epic 8 is the exaltation of the concept of speed as the sum of the ability to tackle obstacles, efficiency and lightness. Modern XC courses require ever higher performance from bikes, and this is why on the Epic 8 we have further refined and improved the suspension kinematics, managing to offer an even more efficient pedaling. The shocks with custom specs and tuning are able to absorb every impact and make the Epic 8 a wolf in agnello’s clothing. 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 in acceleration. The torsional and lateral stiffness also ensures 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 harder on the pedals.

RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has developed a custom tuning for the Epic 8 shock, whose characteristics enhance the holistic riding experience. The specific tuning developed together with the leverage ratios and the 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 suspensions active for more effective bump management. This way the rider is able to maintain the most efficient pedaling position. The result is the most efficient full-suspension bike we have ever made.

MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8 we have not added a single gram of weight to improve its features. All models now come with SWAT 4.0 and an integrated steering stop to prevent frame damage in caso of a slide.

The new S-Works Epic 8 frame is even 76 grams lighter, despite adding these details.

ROCKSHOX FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Free your mind to focus on the race. The Specialized Ride Dynamics RockShox Flight Attendant (on S-Works models), interacting with SRAM AXS Wireless technology, collects real-time data to determine the ideal compression settings and create an unparalleled experience for the rider.
