When speed is essential and the trail requires more than just a lightweight frame, the all-new Specialized Epic 8 Pro is your solution. This bike is designed for modern cross-country (XC) courses and riders who thrive on intensity. It is the most capable, efficient, and well-tuned 120mm bike Specialized has ever created. Whether you are preparing for your next XC race or aiming for your fastest local lap, the Epic 8 delivers impressive performance.
Its improved kinematics reduce pedal bob by 20% without sacrificing bump management. The custom-tuned RockShox Flight Attendant suspension reads the terrain and adjusts in real time, allowing you to maintain your focus on speed. This bike not only handles well, it attacks the trail, offering unmatched stiffness and control that makes precise handling feel natural.
The Epic 8 goes beyond mere capability; it absorbs 12% more vibration and chatter than its predecessor, helping to keep your legs fresher and your mind sharper as the race progresses. The integrated SWAT 4.0 storage system discreetly stores your essentials in the downtube, and a new steering stop prevents damage to the top tube during those unavoidable high-stakes bailouts.
From the Roval Control SL VI carbon wheels to the Quarq-ready power meter and the robust XO Eagle AXS Transmission, every aspect of this bike is engineered for racing without compromise. If you are aiming for victory, this is the weapon you need.
