Specialized S-Works Epic 8 Frameset Astral Blue XL

The Specialized S-Works Epic 8 Frameset in Astral Blue is the absolute top frame in the world of cross-country mountain biking. Lighter, stiffer and more efficient than ever before, this frameset is the ideal foundation for riders who want to build a high-end, competition-oriented XC race monster. In size XL, the frame offers optimal geometry and stability for larger riders who demand maximum performance.

Latest generation Epic: lighter, more efficient, faster

The Epic 8 represents the most advanced evolution of Specialized’s XC platform. Thanks to the updated FACT 12m carbon frame, the frameset is not only incredibly light, but also extremely stiff and responsive. Every pedal stroke is instantly converted into speed, ideal for explosive acceleration, steep climbs, and technical singletrack.

Advanced suspension with unprecedented efficiency

The S-Works Epic 8 is designed around Specialized's latest suspension platform, which offers the perfect balance between efficient pedaling and maximum traction. The system effectively filters out small bumps while still providing a super-tight and responsive feel while climbing. This allows you to maintain maximum control at all times, even on fast and rough terrain.

Astral Blue: Modern premium finish

The Astral Blue color gives the frame a futuristic, high-end look that perfectly matches the Epic 8's performance. The deep blue metallic hue combined with subtle S-Works details creates a unique and luxurious look that stands out on the trail and in the starting zone.

Competitive geometry for better handling

The Epic 8’s modern XC geometry delivers sharp yet stable handling. The longer reach, slacker head angle, and shorter chainstays give you an ideal balance of agility, stability, and speed. In the XL size, the frameset is optimized for taller riders looking to take full advantage of modern XC ergonomics.
