Specialized Epic 8 Expert 2024 MTB Bike

Specialized Epic 8 Expert 2024 MTB Bike

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

If you're an XC rider or prioritize speed on your rides, 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 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.

No bumps

Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more bump forces, leaving you less fatigued over time so you can keep pushing.

With the Epic 8, Specialized hasn't used an extra ounce to get big frame capacity. All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials, and an integrated steering stop to avoid the ubiquitous top tube scar the first time you drop and the handlebars turn. In fact, the new S-Works Epic 8 frame has even lost weight (76 grams to be exact) while incorporating these new features.

• The most capable 120mm bike on the planet. 12% more bump absorption and 20% less pedal roll.
  
• SIDLuxe Select+ shock and SID Select+ fork developed by Ride Dynamics.
  
• Custom shock with 3 unique damping settings.
  
• Roval Control carbon wheels excel everywhere from world cup xc racing to your favorite weekend trail.
  
• SRAM Level Bronze Stealth 4-piston brakes deliver trail-ready stopping power in a race-ready system.
  
• No-compromise GX Eagle AXS drivetrain provides smooth shifting all day long, especially under load.
  
• SWAT 4.0 down tube for carrying essentials on the trail.
