Specialized Epic 8 Pro - Black blue

The new Specialized Epic 8 bike is the exaltation of the concept of speed as a sum of the ability to tackle obstacles, efficiency, and lightness. Modern XC trails require ever-increasing performance from bikes, which is why Specialized has further perfected and refined the suspension kinematics on the Epic 8, offering an even more efficient ride. The shocks equipped with custom specifications and tuning can absorb every impact, making the Epic 8 a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you are an XC competitor and your goal is maximum speed, the Epic 8 is the perfect bike.

• GREAT CAPACITY: The 120mm travel and progressive geometry make the Epic 8 extremely capable on technical trails, very fast and efficient uphill, and incredibly responsive and agile during acceleration. The torsional and lateral stiffness also ensures perfect steering precision.
• WHAT IMPACTS?: Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more shock forces and vibrations, allowing you to tire less and use your energy more effectively to push hard on the pedals.
• RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has developed a custom tuning for the Epic 8's shock, whose characteristics elevate the holistic riding experience. The specific tuning developed along with the leverage ratios and the renewed kinematics improve the ride exponentially.
• BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the kinematics of the Epic 8, the Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has reduced the induced movement during pedaling by 20%, keeping the suspensions active for more effective shock management. Thus, the rider can maintain the most efficient pedaling position. The result is the most efficient dual-suspension bike we have ever created.
• MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8, we did not add a single gram of weight to improve its characteristics. All models now include SWAT 4.0 and an integrated headset lock to prevent frame damage in the event of a slip.
• The bike with 120mm travel is the most capable. Greater shock absorption by 12%, and 20% less bobbing.
