The Epic 8 EVO is the fastest downcountry bike in the world through capability, efficiency, lightweight integration, and an upgraded spec. Learn all you need to know about the Specialized Epic 8 EVO in this video by Specialized University.
Capability
The Epic 8 EVO sets the bar as the most capable 120mm bike on the planet. This level of performance is made possible through a holistic development approach of geometry, chassis, kinematics, custom shock damping, and spring curve. Spec’ing a 130mm fork, trail cockpit, big brakes and meatier tires dials capability to 11.
Light Weight Integration
Epic 8 EVO gained its major capability and additional features with zero weight penalty. Through rigorous testing in our Morgan Hill, CA carbon lab, we were able to optimize tube weights while giving Epic tuned stiffness, SWAT 4.0 carrying capabilities, and a steering stop.
Dressed to Thrill
Epic 8 EVO supports more spirited trail riding by creating a more neutral rider position with its riser bars and shorter stem. 130mm of travel up and grippy trail tires can take you to the edge, while the powerful brakes keep things in check.
