SPECIALIZED S-WORKS EPIC 8 BIKE

The new Epic 8 is the ultimate expression of speed, defined as the combination of obstacle handling, efficiency, and lightness. Modern XC courses demand higher performance than ever before, which is why we’ve further refined the suspension kinematics to deliver even more efficient pedaling. The custom-tuned shocks absorb every impact, making the Epic 8 a wolf in sheep’s clothing. If you’re a competitive XC rider and your goal is maximum speed, the Epic 8 is the perfect bike.

INCREDIBLE CAPABILITY: With 120mm of travel and a progressive geometry, the Epic 8 is extremely capable on technical trails, very efficient and fast uphill, and incredibly responsive and quick on acceleration. The torsional and lateral stiffness also ensures precise handling.

WHAT IMPACTS?: Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more impact forces and vibrations, reducing rider fatigue so you can use more energy to power the pedals.

RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team developed a custom shock tune for the Epic 8, enhancing the overall ride experience. This specific tuning, paired with the revised kinematics and leverage ratios, improves performance exponentially.

BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the Epic 8’s suspension kinematics, the Ride Dynamics Team reduced pedal-induced movement by 20% while keeping the suspension active for better impact management. This lets the rider maintain the most efficient pedaling position. The result is the most efficient full-suspension bike we’ve ever built.

MORE WITH LESS: We didn’t add a single gram to improve performance. All models now include SWAT 4.0 storage and an integrated steering stop to prevent frame damage in case of a crash.

The new S-Works Epic 8 frame is even 76 grams lighter, despite the added features.

ROCKSHOX FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Free your mind and focus on the race. The Specialized Ride Dynamics RockShox Flight Attendant (on S-Works models) works with SRAM AXS Wireless technology to gather real-time data and determine optimal compression settings for an unmatched riding experience.
