Enter Epic 8. Its improved kinematics make it the most efficient pedaling 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 racer or prioritize all-out speed in your ride, the Epic 8 is the bike for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUNMATCHED CAPABILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most capable 120mm bike on the planet. You’ll be blown away by how Epic 8’s progressive geometry delivers technical terrain capability alongside fast and efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The absurd lateral and torsional rigidity of the chassis translates to some seriously precision handling, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBUMP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces than the previous generation, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time so you can still push while they suffer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRIDE DYNAMICS TUNED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valving for Epic 8’s new shock. Our unique Ride Dynamics-prescribed damping characteristics holistically elevate the riding experience. By tuning the dampers alongside the chassis’ leverage rates and new kinematics, we’re able to deliver a bike that rides beyond the sum of its parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy optimizing the kinematics of the suspension, Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team reduced inefficient pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, while maintaining active suspension for effective bump force management, to ensure you remain in the most efficient pedaling position.
