Product Details
Unleash your potential with the Specialized Epic 8 EVO Comp, the fastest downcountry bike designed to conquer any terrain. This bike is the ultimate evolution of the Epic 8, pushing boundaries with its unparalleled combination of capability, efficiency, and lightweight design. The Epic 8 EVO’s updated kinematics make climbing more efficient than ever, while the Ride Dynamics-tuned shock effortlessly absorbs rough terrain on descents.
If you thrive on blazing fast singletrack and sharing epic rides with friends, the Epic 8 EVO is your ideal companion. Its 120mm travel is enhanced by progressive geometry, offering unmatched technical terrain capabilities while maintaining fast and efficient climbing. With increased lateral and torsional rigidity, the bike delivers precise handling, especially when the 130mm travel fork devours rough trails. Every aspect of the Epic 8 EVO is engineered to excel on challenging terrain.
The new Epic 8 EVO takes bump absorption to a new level, offering 12% more bump and vibration reduction than its predecessor. This means you stay fresher, stronger, and ready for extra laps, whether it's one or three. Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team has meticulously tuned the shock’s damping characteristics to elevate your riding experience. By synchronizing the dampers with the chassis’ leverage rates and kinematics, the Epic 8 EVO delivers a ride that truly surpasses the sum of its parts.
Efficiency is key with the Epic 8 EVO Comp. Specialized’s optimized suspension kinematics reduce pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, ensuring you maintain the most efficient pedaling position while managing bump forces effectively. It’s the most efficient pedaling suspension bike Specialized has ever tested.
Equipped with SWAT 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials, the Epic 8 EVO Comp also features an integrated steering stop, lightweight alloy wheels, SRAM’s powerful Code Bronze Stealth brakes, and a reliable GX Eagle 12-speed groupset.
