Unmatched Capability
Epic 8 EVO’s progressive geometry delivers incredible capability in technical terrain alongside fast, efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The absurd lateral and torsional rigidity of the chassis translates to some seriously precise handling, too. With a bump up to 130mm of travel up front to eat up the chunk and a slew of trail-friendly specs, Epic 8 EVO feels right at home on the rough stuff.
Ride Dynamics Tuned
The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valving for Epic 8 EVO’s new shock, prescribing special damping characteristics to elevate the riding experience. By tuning the dampers alongside the chassis’ leverage rates and new kinematics, they’re able to deliver a bike that rides above the sum of its parts.
Biomechanical Efficiency
By optimizing the kinematics of the suspension, Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team reduced pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, maintaining active suspension for effective bump force management. It’s the most efficient pedaling suspension bike they’ve ever built.
SWAT™ Technology
The irony of taping tubes and food to an expensive carbon rig isn't lost on Specialized. Their SWAT™ Technology is a revolution in utility with everything you need for on-the-fly repairs and much, much more. From tubes, pumps, and tools to trail snacks and water – say goodbye to unsightly packing hacks and hello to putting everything you need, right where you want it.
