Specialized Epic 8 Comp - Satin Deep Orange/White
The new Epic 8 is the exaltation of the concept of speed as a sum of the ability to deal with obstacles, efficiency and lightness. The modern XC routes require higher and higher performance, which is why the Epic 8 has further improved and refined the suspension kinematics to offer an even more efficient pedal. The shock absorbers with specification and custom calibration are able to absorb any impact and make the Epic 8 a wolf disguised as lamb. If you are an XC agonist and your goal is maximum speed, the Epic 8 is the perfect bike.

HIGH CAPACITY'
The 120mm hike and progressive geometry make the Epic 8 extremely capable on technical routes, very fast and efficient uphill and incredibly responsive and snappy in acceleration. The torque and lateral stiffness also ensures perfect driving accuracy.
WHAT'S WRONG?
Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more shock and vibration forces, so you can get tired less so you can use the energy to push the pedals to the fullest.
DYNAMICS
I do Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has developed a custom calibration for the shock absorber of the Epic 8, whose characteristics elevate the holistic experience of the guide. The specific calibration developed along with the leverage ratios and the renewed cinematics improve the exponential guide.
BIOMECAL EFFICIENCY
Optimizing the cinematics of Epic 8, it Specialized Ride Dynamics Team reduced by 20% the pedal-induced movement while keeping the suspensions active for more effective shock management. So the rider is able to keep the pedal position more efficient. The result is the most efficient biammortized we have ever made.
MORE WITH METHANE
The Epic 8 has not added a single gram of weight to improve its characteristics. All models now include SWAT 4.0 and an integrated steering stop to prevent damage to frame in case you slip.
