Epic 8 EVO is the dressed up, cranked-to-11 expression of the new Epic 8. Spec’d to slay downcountry terrain with its unmatched combo of capability, efficiency, and light weight, Epic 8 EVO’s updated kinematics allow for insanely efficient climbing—while the Ride Dynamics-tuned shock eats up rough terrain on the way down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf ripping single track at blazing fast speeds and high fiving your friends is your idea of fun, the Epic 8 EVO is the bike for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUNMATCHED CAPABILITY  -  The most capable 120mm bike on the planet, made even more capable. You’ll be blown away by how Epic 8 EVO’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. With a bump up to 130mm of travel up front to eat up the chunk and a slew of trail-friendly specs, Epic 8 EVO feels right at home on the rough stuff.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHAT BUMP?: Compared t  -  the previous generation, the new Epic 8 EVO absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time. That opens the options for another lap (or 3).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRIDE DYNAMICS TUNED  -  The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valving for Epic 8 EVO’s new shock. Our team prescribes the special damping characteristics to holistically elevate the riding experience. By tuning the dampers alongside the chassis’ leverage rates and new kinematics, we’re able to deliver a bike that rides above the sum of its parts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBIOMECHANICAL 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. It’s the most efficient pedaling suspension bike we’ve ever tested.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFULLY LOADED  -  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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  FACT 11m Carbon, Progressive XC Race Geometry, Rider-First Engineered™, SWAT downtube storage, threaded BB, 12x148mm UDH compatible rear dropout, internal cable routing, 120mm of travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Binder\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  pecialized Alloy 34.9, Steel Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSWAT\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  SWAT internal downtube storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Shock\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  Fox Float Performance, Evol LV, Ride Dynamics Tuned, 2-position compression adjust, 190x45mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFork\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  FOX 34 SL Performance, Grip Damper, 130mm travel, 44mm offset, 15x110mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Brake\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  SRAM Motive Bronze, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 180mm rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Brake\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  SRAM Motive Bronze, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 160mm rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShift Levers\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  SRAM AXS POD Controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Derailleur\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  SRAM S-1000 Eagle AXS Transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCassette\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  SRAM XS-1270 Transmission Cassette, 12-Speed, 10-52T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  SRAM GX Eagle Transmission 12-Speed Flattop Chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrankset\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  SRAM S1000 Eagle, DUB, 165\/170\/175mm, 32T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChainrings\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  32T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom Bracket\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  SRAM DUB Threaded Wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRims\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  Specialized Alloy 29, 27mm internal width, tubeless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Hub\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  Specialized alloy, sealed cardridge bearings, 6-bolt, 15x110mm thru-axle, 28h\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Hub\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  Specialized alloy, sealed cartridge bearings, 6-bolt, 12x148mm thru-axle, 28h\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpokes\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  DT Swiss Elemental\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Tire\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  Specialized Purgatory, GRID Casing, T9 Compound, 29x2.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear Tire\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  Specialized Ground Control, Grid Lite Casing, T5\/T7 Compound, 29x2.35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Tubes\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  Specialized Turbo Tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  Alloy Stem, 35mm clamp, 60mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandlebars\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  Specialized Alloy, 20mm rise, 35mm, 760mm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrips\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  Specialized Trail Grips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  Body Geometry Power Sport, steel rails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeatPost\u003c\/strong\u003e  -  X-Fusion Manic, 30.9, XS-SM: 125mm, M: 150mm, L-XL: 170mm Travel, 0mm offset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Specifications are subject to change without notice\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Specialized","offers":[{"title":"Satin Blue Onyx\/California Sunshine \/ Medium","offer_id":46907506131095,"sku":"210000097747","price":4725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Satin Blue Onyx\/California Sunshine \/ Large","offer_id":46907506163863,"sku":"210000097748","price":4725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Satin Blue Onyx\/California Sunshine \/ Small","offer_id":46907506196631,"sku":"210000097993","price":4725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/0176\/2199\/files\/uymxpfxq0iai7bk5a2jn.jpg?v=1770756845","url":"https:\/\/www.philbricks.com\/products\/specialized-epic-8-evo-comp-mountain-bike-2026","provider":"Philbricks Ski Board \u0026 Bike","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
