SPECIALIZED EPIC 8 EVO PRO

The Epic 8 EVO represents the ultimate evolution of the downcountry concept: as light as an XC bike, as capable as a modern trail bike. It's designed for those who love to push hard on fast singletrack but also want safety and control when the terrain gets technical.

Extended capability and progressive geometry
With 120 mm of rear travel paired with a 130 mm fork, the Epic 8 EVO offers downhill stability and maximum climbing efficiency. The Progressive XC Race Geometry improves control, precision, and confidence at high speeds.

Superior absorption
The new frame and evolved kinematics significantly improve the absorption of impacts and vibrations, reducing fatigue and allowing you to maintain a high pace for longer.

Tailored Ride Dynamics
L’ammortizzatore FOX Float Factory Ride Dynamics è stato sviluppato specificamente per questa piattaforma, lavorando in perfetta sinergia con la cinematica per offrire sensibilità iniziale, supporto a metà corsa e controllo nelle compressioni più impegnative.

Biomechanical efficiency
The pedal-induced movement reduction keeps the suspension active without wasting energy. The result is one of the most efficient full-suspension bikes ever developed by Specialized.

Light yet fully equipped
Despite the integration of the SWAT 4.0 compartment and frame protection system, the Epic 8 EVO maintains an extremely competitive weight, ready for both racing and the most aggressive rides.

Without this option, the bike will be delivered in the manufacturer's original packaging and will require some technical setup before it can be used safely.
