Mountain bike Specialized EPIC 8 PRO

Built on the Epic 8 EVO platform, this expert-level model takes things up a notch with premium suspension, carbon wheels, and electronic shifting, making it one of the fastest and most versatile XC bikes available.
Maximum Capability & Precision
With 120mm of rear travel and a 130mm FOX 34 Performance Elite fork, the Epic 8 Expert EVO offers exceptional control on technical descents while maintaining explosive efficiency on climbs. Its progressive geometry ensures a perfect balance between stability, agility, and acceleration, while the reinforced carbon chassis delivers unparalleled lateral and torsional stiffness.

Ride Dynamics Tuned Suspension
Compared to previous generations, the Epic 8 EVO absorbs 12% more bumps and vibrations, reducing rider fatigue and allowing you to push harder for longer. Custom-tuned FOX Float Performance Elite shock works in harmony with the frame’s leverage rates and kinematics to provide a balanced, responsive ride across all terrain types.

Ultimate Pedaling Efficiency
Thanks to Specialized’s Ride Dynamics tuning, the suspension kinematics are optimized to reduce pedal bob by 20%, keeping power transfer efficient without compromising active suspension. This ensures the bike climbs faster, accelerates harder, and maintains superior traction on rough terrain.

Premium Components for Elite Performance
The Roval Control carbon wheelset provides the perfect mix of lightweight efficiency and durability, excelling in both World Cup XC races and weekend trail adventures. The SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission ensures instant wireless shifting, while the SRAM Code Bronze Stealth 4-piston brakes deliver exceptional stopping power in a clean and stylish cockpit setup.
