Specialized Epic 8 EVO Expert

The Specialized Epic 8 EVO is built for riders who demand cross-country speed without sacrificing trail capability. With its progressive geometry, lightweight construction, and tuned suspension, it’s the most capable 120mm bike Specialized has ever created, and it's cranked up to 130mm up front to handle even rowdier terrain.

The updated chassis delivers a 12% increase in bump absorption and 20% reduction in pedal-induced bob, giving you a smoother, more efficient ride that stays composed at speed and aggressive on climbs. Add in the Ride Dynamics-tuned shock and FOX 34 Performance Elite fork, and you’ve got a machine that feels bottomless on descents yet razor-sharp on singletrack.

An integrated SWAT 4.0 system keeps your tools and essentials secure inside the downtube, while the SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission delivers crisp wireless shifting through everything from race days to rowdy weekends. Backed by Code Bronze Stealth 4-piston brakes and Roval Control carbon wheels, the Epic 8 EVO is ready for high-fives at the trailhead and podium finishes alike.
