Specialized Epic 8 Comp 2024 MTB Bike: Wolf in wolf's clothing

The new Epic 8 evolves the formula for speed through capacity, efficiency and lightweight integration. Modern XC trails demand more and more capacity every day. Enter the Epic 8. Its improved kinematics make it the most efficient pedaling bike we've tested, while custom (and tuned) shocks soak up every bump. It's a wolf in wolf's clothing.

If you're an XC rider or prioritize absolute speed on your ride, the Epic 8 is the bike for you.

Unmatched Capability

The most capable 120mm bike on the planet. You'll be amazed at how the Epic 8's progressive geometry delivers technical terrain capability along with fast, efficient climbing and acceleration performance.

Ride Dynamics Tuning

The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed a custom tuning for the Epic 8's new shock. Our unique damping characteristics, prescribed by Ride Dynamics, holistically elevate the riding experience. By tuning the shocks along with the chassis leverage rates and new kinematics, we are able to deliver a bike that goes beyond the sum of its parts.
