S-Works Epic 8 2025

Description

MASSIVE CAPABILITY: The 120mm travel and progressive geometry make the Epic 8 extremely capable on technical trails, very fast and efficient on climbs, and incredibly responsive and snappy when accelerating. The torsional and lateral stiffness also guarantees perfect handling precision. WHAT IMPACTS?: Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more impact forces and vibrations, so you get less fatigued and can put all your energy into pushing hard on the pedals. RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team developed a custom tune for the Epic 8's shock, with characteristics that elevate the holistic riding experience. The specific tune developed together with the leverage ratios and the updated kinematics improve the ride exponentially. BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimising the Epic 8's kinematics, the Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has reduced pedalling-induced movement by 20% while keeping the suspension active for more effective impact management. This allows the rider to maintain the most efficient pedalling position. The result is the most efficient full-suspension bike we've ever built. MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8 we didn't add a single gram of weight to improve its features. All models now include SWAT 4.0 and an integrated headset lock to prevent frame damage in the event of a crash. The new S-Works Epic 8 frame is even 76 grams lighter, despite adding these features. ROCKSHOX FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Free your mind to focus on the race. The Specialized Ride Dynamics RockShox Flight Attendant (on S-Works models), working together with SRAM AXS Wireless technology, collects real-time data to determine the ideal compression settings and create an unmatched experience for the rider. The most capable 120mm travel bike. 12% more shock absorption and 20% less bobbing.
