Specialized Epic 8 EVO Comp Size L

The fastest down-country bike in the world. The Epic 8 EVO is the beefed-up version of the new Epic 8. Designed to tackle the toughest trails with its unmatched combination of capability, efficiency, and lightness. The advanced kinematics of the Epic 8 EVO provide incredible climbing performance while the shock absorber optimized by our Ride Dynamics team absorbs all impacts of your favorite technical descent.

If shredding a singletrack at blazing speeds and high-fiving your friends is your idea of fun, the Epic 8 EVO is the bike for you.

UNMATCHED CAPABILITY: The most capable 120mm bike on the planet, performing even better. You will be blown away by how the progressive geometry of the Epic 8 EVO offers capabilities on technical terrain, as well as climbing and quick acceleration performance. The frame’s lateral and torsional stiffness also translates to ultra-precise handling. With 130mm travel up front to devour whatever lies ahead and a multitude of trail-friendly specs, the Epic 8 EVO feels perfectly at home on rough terrain.

WHAT ABOUT SHOCKS? Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more force on impacts and vibrations, preserving your level of fatigue and allowing you to be decisive when it truly matters.

TUNED RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team has developed custom settings for the new shock absorber of the Epic 8 EVO. Our unique damping characteristics prescribed by Ride Dynamics enhance the overall riding experience. By tuning the shock based on compression curves and the new kinematics, we can offer a bike that's faster than the sum of its parts.

BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the suspension kinematics, the Specialized Ride Dynamics team has reduced ineffective movements induced by pedaling (also known as Pedal Bob) by 20%, while maintaining active suspension for flawless management of impact forces to ensure you stay in the most efficient pedaling position.

MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8, we didn't add a single extra gram to achieve these unmatched frame capabilities. All models are now equipped with the SWAT 4.0 compartment to carry all your essentials, as well as an integrated steering stop to prevent damage to the top tube when you crash and the handlebars turn. In fact, the new S-Works Epic 8 frame has even lost weight (76 grams to be exact) while benefiting from these new features.
