2024 Specialized Epic 8 Pro XL

The all-new 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 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.

UNMATCHED CAPABILITY: The 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.

Features may include:

  • Capability

The Epic 8 sets the bar as the most capable 120mm bike on the planet. This level of performance is made possible through a holistic development approach of geometry, chassis, kinematics, custom shock damping, and spring curve

  • Efficiency

The new Epic 8 is the most efficient pedaling suspension bike we’ve ever tested, while maintaining traction and absorbing bumps. Reducing inefficient pedal-induced bobbing by 20% and absorbing 12% more bump force vibrations, you’re climbing using less energy and feeling fresher on the descents.

  • Light Weight Integration

Epic 8 gained its major capability and additional features with zero weight penalty. Through rigorous testing in our Morgan Hill, CA carbon lab, we were able to optimize tube weights while giving Epic tuned stiffness, SWAT 4.0 carrying capabilities, and steering stop.
