Specialized Epic 8 Comp Cross Country Mountain Bikes
The all-new Epic 8 evolves the formula of fastest through capability, efficiency, and lightweight integration. Modern XC tracks demand more and more capability by the day. Enter the Epic 8. Its improved kinematics make it the most efficient pedaling bike we've ever tested, while custom valved (and tuned) shocks soak up every bump. It's a wolf in wolf's clothing.
If you're an XC racer or prioritize all-out speed in your ride, the Epic 8 is the bike for you.
Key Benefits for Riders
Unmatched Capability
The Epic 8 is the most capable 120mm bike on the planet. You'll be blown away by how its progressive geometry delivers technical terrain capability alongside fast and efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The absurd lateral and torsional rigidity of the chassis translates to precision handling, too.
What Bump?
Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces. This leaves you less fatigued and more powerful over time, so you can continue to push ahead when others are slowing down.
Ride Dynamics Tuned for Performance
The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valving for the Epic 8’s shock. This unique damping characteristic elevates the riding experience by holistically tuning the suspension to the chassis' leverage rates and kinematics, delivering a ride beyond the sum of its parts.
Biomechanical Efficiency
By optimizing the suspension kinematics, the Ride Dynamics team reduced inefficient pedal-induced bobbing by 20%. The active suspension keeps you in the most efficient pedaling position, making it the most efficient pedaling suspension bike we've ever tested.
More with Less
The Epic 8 focuses on giving you maximum performance without extra weight. It features the SWAT 4.0 system for trail essentials storage, and an integrated steering stop to prevent top tube scars from crashes. The new S-Works Epic 8 frameset has even lost weight (76 grams) while gaining new features.
Drivetrain and Electronic Shifting
The Epic 8 Comp is equipped with the SRAM S1000 Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, providing smooth and efficient shifting performance. The SRAM S1000 Eagle transmission is ideal for long, demanding rides, ensuring you're always in the right gear, while the SRAM Eagle 34T crankset offers plenty of torque for any terrain.
Why Choose the Specialized Epic 8 Comp?
Designed for XC racers and speed enthusiasts, the Epic 8 offers unmatched performance, efficiency, and comfort. Its advanced geometry, top-tier suspension, and durable components make it a versatile machine ready to tackle any terrain. Whether you're climbing steep hills or descending with speed, the Epic 8 gives you the edge you need to succeed.
