Specialized Epic 8 Expert

The Specialized Epic 8 sets a new standard for XC performance, combining unmatched capability, efficiency, and lightweight integration. Designed for modern XC tracks that demand more, the Epic 8 is the most efficient pedalling bike Specialized has ever tested. With its improved kinematics and custom-valved shocks, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more bumps and vibrations than its predecessor, ensuring you stay fresh and powerful as you tackle technical terrain. Its progressive geometry and ultra-stiff chassis provide precise handling, whether you’re climbing, accelerating, or navigating rough trails, making this the bike that adapts to your every move.

Engineered for speed and efficiency, the Epic 8 reduces pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, allowing you to maintain your most efficient pedalling position without compromising on suspension performance. With the introduction of SWAT 4.0, integrated steering stops, and a frame that’s lighter by 76 grams, the Epic 8 delivers incredible capability without extra weight. It’s the most capable 120mm bike on the planet, designed for XC racers and riders who demand all-out speed and precision. The Epic 8 isn’t just a bike—it’s the ultimate ride for those who want to leave their competition behind.

Sizing Guide

The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.

We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
