Enter the world of unstoppable rides with the Epic 8 EVO Comp from Specialized. Specially engineered to slay any landscape, this bicycle is a manifestation of versatility and ultimate adventure utility. Boasting efficient climbing kinematics, this is the bike that leaves fellow enthusiasts in the dust.

Riding trails at high speed, descending down valleys, or giving a virtually-tangible high five to your mates - the Epic 8 EVO Comp brings an exuberant dash of fun to it all.

  • Unmatched Capability: Be prepared to be amazed by the Epic 8 EVO Comp's progressive geometry that smoothly ushers in unprecedented capability in handling technical terrains. Boasting rigorous lateral and torsional rigidity, this bike guarantees precise handling. With an elevated travel of 130mm upfront and trail-orientated specifications, the Epic 8 EVO’s Comp readily embraces rough terrains.
  • Bump Compliance: Forget all about fatigue with the Epic 8 EVO Comp's shock-absorption capacity. Compared to the last generation, the new Epic 8 EVO absorbs 12% more of the bumps and vibrations, ensuring a smooth ride no matter how gnarly the trail is.
  • Ride Dynamics: Epic 8 EVO Comp's shock is tuned with custom valving developed by the specialized Ride Dynamics team. With the optimised damper settings, altered leverage rates, and new kinematics, expect a bicycle that heightens your ride performance.
  • Biomechanical Efficiency: With optimized suspension kinematics, the Epic 8 EVO Comp slashes pedal-induced bobbing by 20%. This reduction not only ensures efficient pedalling, but also effectively manages bump forces.
  • Fully Loaded: All Epic 8 EVO Comp models come with a handy SWAT 4.0 to take care of your trail essentials. Plus, an integrated steering stop avoids potential top tube scarring in case of crashes or bar spins.
