SPECIALIZED Epic 8 EVO Pro
Details of the product
The fastest downcountry bike in the world. The EVO is the perfect Epic 8 for downcountry riding, thanks to its unmatched combination of performance, efficiency and lightweight. The Epic 8 EVO with its kinematics is incredibly efficient on the uphill, while the tuned Ride Dynamics suspension absorbs the impacts on the slopes full of obstacles. If you love racing on the high-speed singletrack with a group of friends, the Epic 8 EVO is for you.
GREAT CAPACITY: the 120mm excursion and progressive geometry make the Epic 8 extremely capable on technical routes, very fast and efficient uphill and incredibly responsive and quick in acceleration. The torsional and lateral stiffness also guarantees perfect driving precision. With a 130mm travel fork, the Epic 8 EVO is comfortable on the most unsteady descents.
WHAT SHOCKS? : Compared to its predecessor, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more shock and vibration so you can get less tired and use your energy to push the pedals to their maximum.
RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team has developed a custom calibration for the Epic 8’s shock, whose features elevate the holistic riding experience. The specific calibration developed together with the lever ratios and the renewed kinematics improve driving exponentially.
BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimising the kinematics of the Epic 8, the Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has reduced the induced movement in the pedaling phase by 20% while keeping the suspension active for a more effective shock management. So the rider is able to maintain the most efficient riding position. The result is the most efficient amortisation we have ever achieved.
MORE FOR LESS: With the Epic 8 we have not added a single gram of weight to improve its characteristics. All models now include SWAT 4.0 and an integrated steering stop to prevent damage to the frame in case of slippage.
