Specialized Epic 8 Comp Full Suspension Mountain Bike 2026 in Ashen Gray/White

Season:2026

Brand:Specialized

Code:42214995382737

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.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Unmatched Capability: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 absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time so you can still push while they suffer.
  • Biomechanical Efficiency:By optimizing the kinematics of the suspension, Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team reduced inefficient pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, maintaining active suspension for effective bump force management, to ensure you remain in the most efficient pedaling position.
