The all-new S-Works Epic 8 evolves the formula of fastest through capability, efficiency, and lightweight integration. Modern XC tracks demand more and more capability by the day. Enter Epic 8. Its improved kinematics make it the most efficient pedaling bike 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 S-Works Epic 8 is the bike for you.

UNMATCHED CAPABILITY: The most capable 120mm bike you'll find. 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.

WHAT BUMP?: Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 Evo 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.

RIDE DYNAMICS TUNED: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valving for Epic 8’s new shock. Their unique Ride Dynamics-prescribed damping characteristics holistically elevate the riding experience. By tuning the dampers alongside the chassis’ leverage rates and new kinematics, they've able to deliver a bike that rides beyond the sum of its parts.

BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By 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.

MORE WITH LESS: All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials, and an integrated steering stop to prevent the ubiquitous top tube scar the first time you crash and your bars spin. The new S-Works Epic 8 frameset has even lost weight (76 grams to be exact) while gaining these new additions.

ROCKSHOX FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Specialized Ride Dynamics-Tuned RockShox Flight Attendant leverages SRAM AXS Wireless technology to collect real-time data from you and the terrain to determine optimal compression settings to deliver an unmatched experience for the rider.

  • Possibly the most capable 120mm bike on the planet. 12% more bump absorption and 20% less pedal bob
  • Ride Dynamics developed RockShox SIDLuxe ULTIMATE shock and tuned SID ULTIMATE fork w/ Flight Attendant
  • Custom tuned shock features 3 unique damper settings
  • Specialized Ride Dynamics-Tuned RockShox Flight Attendant collects real-time data from you and the terrain to determine optimal compression settings.
  • Obscenely light, smooth riding, and extra durable Roval Control SL wheels
  • Sleek and lightweight Roval Control SL integrated cockpit
  • Top tier Level Ultimate Stealth 4-Piston brakes provide superior power to weight stopping performance
  • SRAM XX SL T-Type AXS Transmission provides the pinnacle of cross-country shifting performance
  • SWAT 4.0 in down tube to carry trail essentials
