Specialized S-Works Epic 8 L gloss carbon/metallic vivid pink/viavi magenta zlatá/metallic midnight shadow/white model 2024

Evolution of speed

For the new S-Works Epic 8 Specialized have tweaked every variable in the speed formula. They push the boundaries of performance, efficiency and lightweight construction to provide better material for modern, more demanding XC tracks. The Epic 8's new kinematics make it the most pedaling efficient bike Specialized have ever tested, while the shocks with special tunes absorb shock better than before. The new Epic 8 represents the next evolution of speed.

If you race cross country or prioritize speed on your rides, the Epic 8 is your bike

OUTRAGEOUSLY POWERFUL: The Epic 8 is the most powerful 120mm bike on earth. You'll be overwhelmed by the performance of the progressive geometry, which shines on technical terrain, ensures quick acceleration and impresses with efficiency on climbs. The extremely high torsional rigidity of the frame guarantees the most precise handling.

UNSHAKED: Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more shock and vibration forces, so you tire more slowly and are more efficient over longer periods of time. While others suffer, you have enough strength in your arms and legs for the next attack.

SHOCK TUNING FROM THE FACTORY: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team adapts all shocks on their best mountain bikes with special tuning. This is also the case with the Epic 8, whose damping properties not only increase the performance of this XC competition bike, but also the riding experience as a whole. As we perfect the interaction of shock, leverage and kinematics, you can create a mountain bike that performs better as a unit than the sum of its parts.

SYMBIOSIS OF HUMAN AND MACHINE: Thanks to the optimized kinematics of the chassis, Specialized 's Ride Dynamics team was able to reduce pedaling-induced rocking by a full 20% - the suspension remains active while riders remain in the optimal position for maximum pedaling efficiency. Of the full-suspension mountain bikes tested by Specialized , the Epic 8 is the most efficient when pedaling.

LESS IS MORE: And savings are deserved - at least in the case of the new Epic 8. It's lighter, but at the same time it has two new features: The SWAT™ Box 4.0 in the down tube offers space for everything you need in the event of a breakdown on the track. And the integrated steering stop ensures that the handlebars don’t “scratch the curve” on the top tube. In fact, despite the two features, the S-Works Epic 8 frameset is another 76 grams lighter and is our most powerful Epic frame of all time.
