Description
UNMATCHED CAPABILITY The most capable 120mm bike on the planet. You'll be surprised by how the progressive geometry of the Epic 8 delivers capability on technical terrain, alongside fast and efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The frame's absurd lateral and torsional stiffness also translates into precise handling. WHAT BUMP? Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more impact and vibration forces, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time, so you can keep pushing while others suffer. TUNED RIDE DYNAMICS The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valves for the new Epic 8's shock. The damping characteristics prescribed by Ride Dynamics elevate the overall ride experience. By tuning the dampers together with the frame's leverage ratios and new kinematics, we managed to create a bike that goes beyond the sum of its parts. BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY By optimising suspension kinematics, Specialized's Ride Dynamics team reduced inefficient pedalling-induced bobbing by 20%, while maintaining active suspension for effective management of impact forces — keeping you in the most efficient pedalling position at all times. It's the most pedalling-efficient suspended bike we've ever tested. MORE WITH LESS With the Epic 8, we didn't add a single extra gram to achieve great capability from the frame. All models now feature the SWAT 4.0 system to carry all your trail accessories, and an integrated stem lock to prevent the classic top tube scratch the first time you go down and the handlebar spins. In fact, the new S-Works Epic 8 frame actually lost weight — exactly 76 grams — while gaining all these new additions.
