Fusing cutting-edge design with unprecedented riding comfort, the Epic 8 by Specialized redefines the mountain biking experience. A masterstroke of engineering, power, and precision, the Epic 8 ensures every ride is rescued from the mundane. As an XC racer or speed enthusiast, prepare for an unbeatable riding experience.

Dominating Capability: This 120mm beast possesses advanced geometry for superb handling on challenging terrains and efficient climbing. Robust lateral and torsional rigidity assures precision handling.

Now, What’s a Bump?: With a 12% increase in bump absorption compared to its predecessor, Epic 8 makes fatigue a distant memory. Keep pedaling powerfully while others lag behind!

Precision Tuned Ride Dynamics: A true testament to the Specialized team’s prowess, the Epic 8 features a custom-designed shock. These unique damping characteristics, combined with advanced chassis leverage rates and kinematics, result in a superior riding experience that exceeds expectations.

First-class Biomechanical Efficiency:: Thanks to optimized suspension kinematics, pedal-induced bobbing is cut by 20%, preserving active suspension for effective bump force management. Quite simply, it's our most efficient pedal suspension system yet.

More from Less:: The Epic 8 packs in all the features, without the extra flab. The model’s weight loss of 76 grams is accompanied by SWAT 4.0, promising to carry all your trail essentials. Expect no scars due to integrated steering stop.

Flight Attendant by RockShox: Break free and focus on speed. SRAM AXS Wireless technology, paired with the Specialized Ride Dynamics-Tuned RockShox Flight Attendant (on S-Works models), ensures optimal compression settings by collecting real-time data while you conquer the terrain.
