Specialized S-Works Epic 8 | Cross Country Mountain Bike
The all-new Epic 8 evolves the formula of fast through capability, efficiency, and lightweight integration. This bike has been meticulously engineered to handle modern XC tracks that demand more capability, making it the most efficient pedaling bike ever tested by Specialized.
Key Benefits for Riders
Unmatched Capability
The Epic 8 offers the most capable 120mm of suspension travel on the market. Its progressive geometry provides a perfect balance of technical terrain handling and fast climbing and acceleration. The chassis is built for precision handling with incredible lateral and torsional rigidity, making it easy to tackle challenging trails and push the limits of your performance.
What Bump?
Compared to its predecessor, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more bumps and vibration, reducing fatigue and helping you maintain power over longer rides. With improved shock performance, this bike keeps you feeling fresh, so you can stay strong while others slow down.
Ride Dynamics Tuned
Specialized's Ride Dynamics team custom tunes the shock on the Epic 8 to complement the bike’s kinematics, creating a riding experience that feels more connected to the terrain. By reducing inefficient pedal bob by 20%, this bike maximizes pedaling efficiency without sacrificing active suspension for optimal bump management.
Biomechanical Efficiency
With optimized suspension kinematics, the Epic 8 helps you maintain the most efficient pedaling position while reducing pedal-induced bob. This means less wasted energy and more effective power transfer for speed and endurance.
More with Less
At just 76 grams lighter than its predecessor, the Epic 8 doesn’t just shed weight; it adds functional features like the SWAT 4.0 downtube storage, integrated steering stop, and more. This bike packs capability into a lightweight frame that can handle anything you throw at it.
RockShox Flight Attendant
The Epic 8 features the RockShox Flight Attendant, which uses SRAM AXS Wireless technology to adjust suspension settings in real-time based on terrain. This system optimizes compression for the best possible ride, ensuring you stay in control whether you're racing or cruising on tough trails.
Why Choose the Specialized S-Works Epic 8?
With its lightweight design, superior shock absorption, and unmatched efficiency, the S-Works Epic 8 is built for riders who prioritize speed and performance. Whether you're racing XC or tackling technical trails, this bike is designed to keep you ahead of the competition. It’s the most capable 120mm bike in its class, built for riders who demand precision and power on every ride.
