Specialized Epic 8 Pro Evo Cross Country Bike
The Epic 8 Pro Evo is the fastest downcountry bike in the world, designed to tackle challenging trails with the perfect mix of speed, capability, and efficiency. This high-performance machine features the same advanced frame geometry and improved kinematics as the Epic 8, but with a few tweaks to make it the ultimate bike for aggressive trail riders.
Key Benefits for Riders
Unmatched Capability on Rough Terrain
With its 130mm front travel and 120mm rear travel, the Epic 8 Evo is equipped to conquer the most demanding trails. The bike’s progressive geometry and improved shock technology make it more than capable of shredding singletrack, providing a stable, controlled ride across even the most technical terrain. The Fox Float Factory shock, tuned by the Specialized Ride Dynamics team, absorbs every bump, giving you the confidence to attack both steep climbs and rocky descents.
Enhanced Suspension for Superior Comfort
Compared to the previous generation, the Epic 8 Evo absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces, reducing fatigue and providing more comfort over long rides. This means you can ride harder for longer, pushing your limits without the ride taking its toll.
Biomechanical Efficiency
The Epic 8 Evo's suspension kinematics reduce pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, ensuring that you remain in the most efficient pedaling position. The active suspension improves bump force management, so you're not wasting energy as you power through technical sections.
Precision Handling and Speed
Designed for speed, the Epic 8 Evo delivers insane lateral and torsional rigidity, resulting in precise handling and fast acceleration. The lightweight frame, combined with Roval Control SL carbon wheels, makes every pedal stroke more effective, and its stiff frame translates into quick, responsive handling on every corner.
Durable, Lightweight, and Full of Features
The Epic 8 Evo incorporates SWAT 4.0 storage for your essentials, and a steering stop prevents top tube damage during crashes. It’s built for the toughest trails while maintaining a low weight for quicker climbs and agility in the corners.
Drivetrain and Electronic Shifting
Equipped with SRAM X0 Eagle 12-speed transmission, the Epic 8 Evo offers smooth and precise shifting. The SRAM X0 Eagle system delivers exceptional performance, handling the brutal demands of modern Cross Country racing with ease. Paired with the SRAM AXS POD Controller for seamless electronic shifting, it ensures quick, reliable gear changes, so you can stay focused on the ride.
Why Choose the Specialized Epic 8 Pro Evo?
Whether you're looking for a bike to race or a bike to ride fast on rugged terrain, the Epic 8 Pro Evo is the perfect companion. It’s engineered for both speed and comfort, with superior suspension and the latest in drivetrain technology. With its lightweight, efficient, and capable design, this bike is built to keep up with your every move, whether you're tackling a long climb or charging down a technical descent.
