Product Details
The Specialized Epic 8 Pro Flight Attendant 2025 *Contender Custom* is a race-ready cross-country machine engineered for speed, precision, and efficiency on the most demanding trails. Lightweight, stiff, and meticulously designed, it delivers a ride experience that balances explosive power transfer with controlled, smooth handling over technical terrain. Ideal for elite XC racers, the Epic 8 Pro combines advanced carbon construction, progressive geometry, and cutting-edge suspension technology to keep riders in control and at peak performance.
At the core of this bike is the FACT 11m carbon frame, optimized for lateral stiffness and power efficiency while minimizing weight. Specialized’s SWAT 4.0 integration provides internal storage for tools and essential gear, maintaining a clean, aerodynamic profile without compromising performance. The frame’s progressive geometry, combined with its refined kinematics, offers precise handling, efficient climbing, and confidence-inspiring stability on descents.
The Epic 8 Pro features the revolutionary Flight Attendant system, consisting of the RockShox SID ULTIMATE Flight Attendant fork and RockShox SIDLuxe Flight Attendant shock. Expertly tuned by Specialized Ride Dynamics, these components automatically adapt suspension damping to terrain and rider input, delivering optimal performance on climbs, technical trails, and high-speed descents. With three unique damper settings, the system absorbs bumps, maintains momentum, and reduces rider fatigue, allowing racers to focus fully on the trail ahead.
Paired with SRAM X0 Eagle AXS wireless transmission and a left-side power meter, the Epic 8 Pro offers precise, reliable, and effortless shifting. Roval Control carbon wheels provide lightweight strength and agile responsiveness, while SRAM Level Silver 4-piston brakes deliver consistent stopping power, giving riders confidence to push limits in any condition. Every detail of the Epic 8 Pro is engineered to maximize efficiency, control, and race-day performance, making it the ultimate XC weapon.
