Mountain bike Specialized EPIC 8 COMP

The Specialized EPIC 8 COMP redefines what’s possible in a 120mm cross-country race bike, blending lightweight efficiency, advanced suspension kinematics, and trail-ready capability. Designed to dominate modern XC courses, this bike delivers unmatched pedaling performance while soaking up technical terrain with ease. Featuring Ride Dynamics Tuned Suspension, a custom-valved RockShox SIDLuxe Select+ shock, and a SID Select fork, the Epic 8 ensures superior bump absorption, reducing rider fatigue and increasing power output over long races.
The Most Capable 120mm XC Bike
Engineered for maximum efficiency, the Epic 8’s new suspension kinematics reduce pedal bob by 20%, keeping the rider in an optimal pedaling position while maintaining active suspension for better bump management. Compared to the previous generation, this bike absorbs 12% more vibration and impact forces, keeping you stronger for longer in races and intense rides.

Precision Handling & Lightweight Innovation
A reinforced yet lightweight frame provides exceptional lateral and torsional stiffness, improving handling precision on technical courses. With SWAT 4.0 integration, riders can conveniently store tools and essentials in the down tube, while an integrated steering stop prevents damage from over-rotating handlebars.

Race-Ready Components
Equipped with a GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, the Epic 8 ensures precise and durable shifting. The SRAM Level Bronze Stealth 4-piston brakes deliver race-optimized stopping power, while Specialized alloy wheels balance lightweight efficiency with durability.
