Specialized Epic 8 Comp Evo Blue Onyx/Dune White

Specialized Epic 8 Comp Evo Blue Onyx/Dune White 2024

The Epic 8 EVO Comp is our downcountry bike for all (positively) crazy people who chase KOMs or QOMs on the fastest trails in the world. More powerful, efficient and lighter than ever before, it impresses with new kinematics and special damper tuning both uphill and downhill. Anyone who rocks this bike will snack on single trails for breakfast and salt them with the tears of the competition.

If you want to be the fastest on your singletrack and leave your friends in the dust, then the Epic EVO is the bike for you.

UNHEARD OF POWERFUL: With 130 mm of front suspension travel and other specifications, the Epic 8 EVO feels right at home on easy to medium-difficulty single trails and can handle a few bumps with ease. You'll be overwhelmed by the performance of the progressive geometry, which excels in technical terrain, ensures fast acceleration and impresses with efficiency on climbs. The extremely high torsional rigidity of the frame guarantees the most precise handling. The most powerful 120 mm bike, only more powerful.

RESISTANT TO SHOCK: The new Epic 8 EVO absorbs 12% more shock and vibration, so you tire more slowly and perform better for longer. While others are already worn out, you can easily ride another lap or two.

DAMPER TUNING FROM THE FACTORY: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team uses a special tuning to adapt all of the shocks to our best mountain bikes. This is also the case with the Epic 8 EVO, whose damping properties not only increase performance in the downcountry, but also the riding experience as a whole. Because we perfect the interaction of the shock, lever ratios and kinematics, we can create a mountain bike that performs better as a unit than the sum of its parts.

SYMBIOSIS OF MAN AND MACHINE: Thanks to the optimized kinematics of the chassis, our Ride Dynamics team was able to reduce the rocking induced by pedaling by a full 20% - the suspension remains active while riders remain in the optimal position for maximum pedaling efficiency. Of the full-suspension mountain bikes we tested, the Epic 8 is the most efficient when pedaling.

LESS IS MORE: And saving is worth it – at least in the case of the new Epic 8 EVO. It may be lighter, but it also has two new features: The SWAT™ Box 4.0 in the down tube offers space for everything you need in the event of a breakdown on the track. And the integrated steering stop ensures that the handlebars do not “scratch the curve” on the top tube.
