The fastest downhill bike in the world.

The Epic 8 EVO is the expression of the all-new Epic 8. Specd to rip through descents with its unrivaled blend of capability, efficiency and lightweight, the Epic 8 EVOs updated kinematics enable incredibly efficient climbs, while the Ride Dynamics-tuned shock eats up rough terrain on descents.

If your idea of fun is riding single tracks at breakneck speeds and high-fiving your friends, the Epic 8 EVO is your bike.

UNBEATABLE CAPABILITY: The most capable 120mm bike on the planet, just got even more capable. Youll be amazed at how the Epic 8 EVOs progressive geometry delivers technical terrain capability along with quick, efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The chassis absurd lateral and torsional stiffness translates into razor-sharp handling, too. With 130mm of front-end travel and a host of trail-friendly features, the Epic 8 EVO is right at home on rough terrain.

WHAT BOOST? 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).

TUNED RIDING DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team has developed custom valving for the Epic 8 EVOs new shock. Our team prescribes special damping characteristics to holistically elevate the riding experience. By tuning the shocks in conjunction with chassis leverage rates and new kinematics, were able to deliver a bike that rides above the sum of its parts.

BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the suspension kinematics, Specializeds Ride Dynamics team has reduced inefficient pedal-induced roll by 20% while keeping the suspension active for effective bump force management to ensure you stay in the most efficient pedaling position. Its the most pedal-efficient suspension bike weve ever tested.

FULLY LOADED: All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials, and an integrated steering stop to prevent that ever-present scar on your top tube the first time you fall and the handlebars spin.
