Specialized Epic 8 EVO Comp 2024 MTB Bike

Specialized Epic 8 EVO Comp 2024 MTB Bike

The world's fastest downhill bike. The Specialized Epic 8 EVO is the epitome of the new Epic 8. Specified to take downhills by storm with its unmatched combination of capability, efficiency and lightness, the Epic 8 EVO's updated kinematics allow for incredibly efficient climbs, while the Ride Dynamics shock eats up the terrain on the descents.

If you're riding singletrack at breakneck speeds, the Epic 8 EVO is the bike for you.

Unmatched Capability

The most capable 120mm bike on the planet, now even more capable. You'll be amazed at how the Epic 8 EVO's progressive geometry offers technical terrain capability along with fast, efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The frame's absurd lateral and torsional stiffness also translates into precision handling. With 130 mm of travel up front and a host of features that make trail riding easier, the Epic 8 EVO feels right at home on rough terrain.

Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 EVO absorbs 12% more forces from bumps and vibrations, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time. That opens up the options for another ride (or 3).

The Specialized Ride Dynamics team has developed custom valving for the new Epic 8 EVO shock. Our team prescribes the special damping characteristics to holistically elevate the riding experience. By tuning the shocks along with the frame leverage rates and new kinematics, we are able to deliver a bike that rides above and beyond the sum of its parts.

Biomechanical Efficiency

By optimizing the suspension kinematics, Specialized's Ride Dynamics team reduced inefficient pedal-induced roll by 20%, keeping the suspension active for effective bump force management to ensure you stay in the most efficient pedaling position. It's the most pedal-efficient suspension bike we've ever tested.

• The most capable 120mm bike on the planet. 12% more bump absorption and 20% less pedal roll.
  
• FOX Float Performance and FOX 34 Performance 130mm fork tuned by Ride Dynamics.
