Details of the Specialized Epic 8 EVO Comp

Unsurpassed performance

Probably the most powerful bike on the planet. The progressive geometry of the Epic 8 combines technical off-road capability with fast and efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The lateral and torsional stiffness of the chassis ensures extremely precise handling.

Less bumps, more riding dynamics

Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic absorbs 12% more shock and vibration forces than the previous generation. This means you tire less and remain efficient.

The Specialized Ride Dynamics team has developed a tailor-made damping system for the Epic. The unique Ride Dynamics damping characteristics improve the overall riding experience. By coordinating the shocks with the leverage ratios of the suspension and the kinematics, a bike has been created that is more than the sum of its parts.

Biomechanical efficiency

By optimizing the suspension kinematics, the Ride Dynamics team was able to reduce inefficient bobbing by 20% while maintaining active suspension for effective shock management. It’s the most efficient suspension bike Specialized has ever tested.

Less but more

All new Epic models are now equipped with SWAT 4.0 storage to carry all your essentials. An integrated handlebar stop prevents the ubiquitous scar on the top tube when you take your first fall.
