Specialized S-Works Epic 8 (Cyan Pearl/White Silver) (S) (SRAM AXS)

Specialized S-Works Epic 8 Full Suspension Mountain Bike Description:

Specialized S-Works Epic 8 Full Suspension Mountain Bikes evolve the formula of “fastest” through capability, efficiency, and lightweight integration. When looking for the perfect companion on modern XC tracks, riders understand the more capable a bike is, the more dominant it will be amongst its competition. That’s where Epic 8 steps in, with improved kinematics that make it the most efficient bike ever tested by Specialized. XC racers will take comfort in knowing Epic 8 was built for the same goal they’ll be chasing all season: Speed.

When Specialized claims Epic 8 is the most capable 120mm travel bike on the planet, they mean it. Fast and efficient climbing and acceleration performance, along with progressive geometry, boost Epic 8’s terrain capability, leaving it ready to handle even the trickiest of courses. An extremely rigid chassis remains stiff in the face of lateral and torsional forces, improving handling even when pushed to its limit. The ability to push your limits is moot when your body is numb from the jarring effect of riding off-road. Epic 8 absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces than the previous generation, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time, so you can still push while they suffer.

Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team worked to improve not only the way Epic 8 moves but also how each move is made. Epic 8’s suspension was designed with custom valving, allowing for damping characteristics that elevate ride experience. The kinematics of Epic 8 were also optimized to reduce pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, while maintaining active suspension for effective bump force management, to ensure you remain in the most efficient pedaling position.

Specialized S-Works Epic 8 is equipped with a custom-tuned edition of the RockShox Flight Attendant AXS system, ensuring you are ready to take flight, fully supported. Specialized Ride Dynamics-Tuned RockShox Flight Attendant leverages SRAM AXS Wireless technology to collect real-time data from you and the terrain to determine optimal compression settings to deliver an unmatched experience for the rider. To top it all off, a SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS 1 x 12 speed drivetrain operates with the same wireless precision and personalization, leaving The S-Works Epic 8 fully connected and primed to deliver.
