Product Details
The Specialized Epic 8 EVO Comp stands at the pinnacle of downcountry performance, delivering blistering speed with uncompromising technical capability. Designed for riders who crave both climbing efficiency and rugged trail confidence, this 120mm platform is tuned to devour singletrack at race pace while remaining effortlessly composed when the terrain turns brutal.
Built on the FACT 11m Carbon frame with Progressive XC Race Geometry, the Epic 8 EVO features Ride Dynamics–tuned suspension that pairs a custom-valved FOX Float Performance shock with a 130mm FOX 34 Performance fork. This sophisticated suspension system reduces pedal-induced bob by 20 percent while boosting bump absorption by 12 percent, creating a bike that transfers power with laser efficiency while floating through rock gardens and root webs with remarkable control.
The advanced SRAM S-1000 Eagle Transmission drivetrain elevates performance with wireless precision and unmatched reliability, while the Specialized Alloy 29 wheelset delivers the perfect balance of strength and weight savings for aggressive trail riding. Integrated SWAT 4.0 downtube storage keeps tools and essentials within easy reach, complemented by steering-stop protection that safeguards the frame during aggressive descents.
Perfect for riders chasing podiums or pushing limits on epic all-day adventures, the Epic 8 EVO Comp proves that maximum capability and unmatched climbing efficiency can coexist in a single, no-compromise package. Progressive geometry and optimized kinematics inspire aggressive riding from flow trails to the most technical descents, delivering ultimate down country dominance.
