SPECIALIZED EPIC 8 EVO EXPERT

The Specialized Epic 8 EVO is a downcountry mountain bike designed for those seeking the perfect balance of efficiency, lightness, and control on technical trails. It is built on the Epic 8 platform but with a setup more oriented toward aggressive riding and fast singletrack, thanks to the 130 mm fork and carefully selected components to enhance capability and confidence on descents.

The FACT 11m carbon frame with Progressive XC geometry, 120mm of rear suspension, and Ride Dynamics tuning make the Epic 8 EVO incredibly efficient on climbs and much more stable and precise when the pace picks up on rougher trails. Impact absorption has been further improved compared to the previous generation, while reduced pedal bob allows for a lively response even when the trail demands constant power surges.

Roval carbon wheels, SRAM GX AXS drivetrain, SRAM Code Bronze Stealth 4-piston brakes, and SWAT 4.0 downtube storage complete a modern, fast platform ready for riders who want to push hard everywhere.
