Description

The fastest downcountry bike in the world. Epic 8 EVO is the dressed up cranked-to-11 expression of the new Epic 8. Spec’d to slay downcountry terrain with its unmatched combo of capability efficiency and light weight Epic 8 EVO’s updated kinematics allow for insanely efficient climbing—while the Ride Dynamics-tuned shock eats up rough terrain on the way down. If ripping single track at blazing fast speeds and high fiving your friends is your idea of fun the Epic 8 EVO is the bike for you. UNMATCHED CAPABILITY: The most capable 120mm bike on the planet made even more capable. You’ll be blown away by how Epic 8 EVO’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. With a bump up to 130mm of travel up front to eat up the chunk and a slew of trail-friendly specs Epic 8 EVO feels right at home on the rough stuff. WHAT BUMP?: Compared to the previous generation the new Epic 8 EVO absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time. That opens the options for another lap or 3. RIDE DYNAMICS TUNED: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valving for Epic 8 EVO’s new shock. Our team prescribes the special damping characteristics to holistically elevate the riding experience. By tuning the dampers alongside the chassis’ leverage rates and new kinematics we’re able to deliver a bike that rides above the sum of its parts. BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the kinematics of the suspension Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team reduced inefficient pedal-induced bobbing by 20% maintaining active suspension for effective bump force management to ensure you remain in the most efficient pedaling position. It’s the most efficient pedaling suspension bike we’ve ever tested. FULLY LOADED: All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials and an integrated steering stop to prevent the ubiquitous top tube scar the first time you crash and your bars spin. The most capable 120mm bike on the planet. 12% more bump absorption and 20% less pedal bob Ride Dynamics tuned FOX Float Performance and 130mm FOX 34 Performance fork Light weight and durable Specialized alloy wheels SRAM’s legendary full-powered Code Bronze Stealth brakes make for a sleek cockpit and easy adjustments Reliable and durable GX Eagle 12-speed groupset SWAT 4.0 in down tube to carry trail essentials Frame FACT 11m Carbon Progressive XC Race Geometry Rider-First Engineered™ SWAT downtube storage threaded BB 12x148mm UDH compatible rear dropout internal cable routing 120mm of travel SWAT SWAT internal downtube storage Seat Binder Specialized Alloy 34.9 Steel bolt Rear Shock Fox Float Performance Evol LV Ride Dynamics Tuned 2-position compression adjust 190x45mm Fork Fox 34 Performance Grip Damper Compression adjust 130mm travel 44mm offset 15x110mm Grips Specialized Trail Grips Saddle Body Geometry Power Sport steel rails Seat Post X-Fusion Manic 30.9 125/150/170 Travel 0mm offset Handlebars Specialized Alloy 20mm rise 35mm 760mm wide Stem Alloy Stem 35mm clamp 60mm Front Brake SRAM Code Bronze Stealth 4-piston caliper hydraulic disc 180/200mm rotor Rear Brake SRAM Code Bronze Stealth 4-piston caliper hydraulic disc 180mm rotor Rear Derailleur SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed Shift Levers SRAM GX trigger 12-speed Cassette SRAM XG-1275 12-speed 10-52t Chain SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed Crankset SRAM X1000 Eagle DUB 165/170/175mm 32T Chainrings Steel 32T Bottom Bracket SRAM DUB Threaded Wide Rims Specialized Alloy 29 30mm internal width tubeless Front Hub Alloy sealed cartridge bearings 15x110mm thru-axle 28h Rear Hub Alloy sealed cartridge bearings 148mmx12mm thru-axle 28h Spokes DT Swiss Industry Front Tire Specialized Purgatory GRID Casing T9 Compound 29×2.4 Rear Tire Specialized Ground Control GRID Casing T7 Compound 29×2.35 Inner Tubes Standard Presta Valve Weight Size Medium: 12.61kg 27 lb 12.8 oz Please note that this bike does not come with pedals.
