The new Epic 8 is the exaltation of the concept of speed as the sum of the ability to face obstacles, efficiency and lightness. Modern XC routes require increasingly higher performance from the vehicles, and this is why on the Epic 8 Specialized has further perfected and refined the kinematics of the suspension, offering even more efficient pedaling. The shock absorbers equipped with custom specifications and calibrations are able to absorb every impact and make 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.
LARGE CAPACITY: The 120mm travel and progressive geometry make the Epic 8 extremely capable on technical trails, very fast and efficient uphill and incredibly reactive and snappy in acceleration. Furthermore, the torsional and lateral rigidity guarantees perfect driving precision.
WHICH IMPACTS? : Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more impact forces and vibrations, so you feel less tired and can better use your energy to push hard on the pedals.
RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has developed a custom calibration for the Epic 8's shock, whose characteristics elevate the holistic riding experience. The specific calibration developed together with the lever ratios and the renewed kinematics improve driving exponentially.
BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the kinematics of the Epic 8, the Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has reduced the movement induced during pedaling by 20% while keeping the suspension active for more effective shock management. Thus the rider is able to maintain the most efficient pedaling position. The result is the most efficient full suspension they've ever made.
MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8 they added a single gram of weight to improve its features. All models now feature SWAT 4.0 and an integrated steering lock to prevent damage to the chassis in the event of a slide.
