Specialized Epic 8 Comp Carbon Mountain Bike in Ashen Gray/White

The all-new Epic 8 evolves the formula of fastest through capability, efficiency, and lightweight integration.

Modern XC tracks demand more and more capability by the day. Enter Epic 8. Its improved kinematics make it the most efficient pedaling bike they’ve ever tested, while custom valved (and tuned) shocks soak up every bump. It’s a wolf in wolf’s clothing.

If you’re an XC racer or prioritize all-out speed in your ride, the Epic 8 is the bike for you. The most capable 120mm bike on the planet, you’ll be blown away by how Epic 8’s progressive geometry delivers technical terrain capability alongside fast and efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The absurd lateral and torsional rigidity of the chassis translates to some seriously precision handling, too.

Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time. The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valving for Epic 8’s new shock, elevating the riding experience. By optimizing the kinematics of the suspension, they reduced inefficient pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, ensuring you remain in the most efficient pedaling position.
