Product Details
The Specialized Epic 8 Pro is engineered to be the fastest and most capable 120mm cross-country race bike on the market. Designed for the demands of modern cross-country courses, it combines razor-sharp handling with advanced suspension kinematics and Ride Dynamics tuning for a ride that’s fast, responsive, and incredibly efficient. This bike excels at soaking up rough terrain, carving precise corners, and accelerating faster than anything else in its class.
With 12% more bump absorption and 20% less pedal-induced bob compared to its predecessor, the Epic 8 Pro keeps you fresher and more controlled over every mile. The RockShox Flight Attendant system, tuned by Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team, uses real-time terrain data to automatically adjust compression on the fly, optimizing your suspension for every moment. Additional features like SWAT 4.0 storage, carbon Roval Control wheels, and the reliable SRAM X0 Eagle AXS Transmission complete the package, making the Epic 8 Pro a top-tier race machine.
