Epic 8 EVO Comp

The fastest downhill bike in the world. The Epic 8 EVO is the embodiment of the new Epic 8. Engineered to dominate descents with its unparalleled combination of capability, efficiency, and lightness, the updated kinematics of the Epic 8 EVO also allow for incredibly efficient climbs, while the Ride Dynamics shock devours the terrain on descents.

If you're hitting single tracks at breakneck speeds, the Epic 8 EVO is your bike.

• UNMATCHED CAPABILITY:

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

• WHAT BUMPS?

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

• RIDE DYNAMICS:

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

• BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY:

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

- MORE WITH LESS:

With the Epic 8 EVO, we haven’t wasted a gram to achieve greater frame capability. All models now include SWAT 4.0 for carrying all your trail essentials, and an integrated headset stop to prevent the ubiquitous top tube scar the first time you crash and the handlebars turn.
