Description

Introducing the Specialized Epic 8 Expert Di2 Bike - a game-changer in the realm of mountain biking. Unparalleled in capability, this 120mm bike is designed for efficient pedaling and supreme handling on uneven terrains. The cutting-edge design, developed in Specialized's carbon lab, integrates weightless features for enhanced performance. The 'Magic Middle' setting ensures a smooth ride with its responsive suspension system, absorbing bumps and providing support under pedaling. The Epic 8 also boasts a Shimano XT Di2 drivetrain, RockShox suspension, and Roval Control SL V wheels. Whether you're challenging a steep incline or navigating rocky streams, this bike sets a new standard for XC full suspension bikes.

  • The Epic 8 is the evolution of championship winning xc race platforms that combines capability, efficiency, and lightweight integration to bring riders the fastest XC bike in the world
  • Magic Middle: The MAgic Middle setting delivers support under pedaling and active suspension in the rough. Under rider inputs, the dampers give more resistance, causing the shock to move less and providing more support for efficient pedaling. When the trail gets rough, the suspension moves more freely to soak up bumps, delivering more control and a smoother ride. It's the best of both worlds for XC riders
  • Capability: The Epic 8 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
  • Efficiency: The new Epic 8 is the most efficient pedaling suspension bike Specialized has ever tested, while maintaining traction and absorbing bumps. Reducing inefficient pedal-induced bobbing by 20% and absorbing 12% more bump force vibrations, you're climbing using less energy and feeling fresher on the descents
  • Light Weight Integration: Epic 8 gained its major capability and additional features with zero weight penalty. Through rigorous testing in Specialized's Morgan Hill, CA carbon lab, they were able to optimize tube wights while giving Epic tuned stiffness, SWAT 4.0 carrying capabilities, and steering stop
