Description
Description
The 2026 S-Works Epic 8 takes the fastest cross-country mountain bike formula to the next level. This lightweight full-suspension XC bike combines unparalleled efficiency, modern geometry, and an integrated design that's ready for the toughest races and trails. As modern XC courses become increasingly technical and challenging, the Epic 8 mountain bike offers the perfect balance of speed, control, and capability.
Whether you're a fanatic XC racer or simply looking for the fastest and most efficient 120mm mountain bike, the Specialized Epic 8 is the ultimate choice.
Unlimited Capacity: The World's Most Capable 120mm XC Bike
With its progressive geometry, the Epic 8 combines technical descending capabilities with lightning-fast climbing and acceleration. The stiff and responsive frame offers ultimate control, while the 120mm of suspension travel gives you confidence on both technical trails and fast race laps.
More comfort, less fatigue
The new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more shock and vibration compared to the previous generation. This means you can pedal harder for longer, get less fatigued, and push harder when others drop out. Perfect for long XC races and marathons.
Specialized Ride Dynamics: Tuned Performance
The Specialized Ride Dynamics team reengineered the suspension and kinematics for ultimate efficiency. By perfectly matching damping to the frame's leverage, this is the fastest, most balanced XC mountain bike Specialized has ever developed.
- 20% less pedal bob for maximum pedaling efficiency
- Custom RockShox SIDLuxe ULTIMATE damper and SID ULTIMATE fork
- Optimized kinematics for smooth control and speed
More with less weight
Specialized has made the Epic 8 frameset even lighter without sacrificing stiffness or durability. At just a few grams lighter (76g), it's one of the lightest full-suspension XC bikes ever. All models come equipped with:
- SWAT 4.0 downtube storage solution for your trail essentials
- Integrated handlebar stop to prevent damage to your top tube
- Roval Control SL wheels and integrated cockpit for optimal stiffness and lightweight performance
RockShox Flight Attendant: Smart suspension
The S-Works models of the Specialized Epic 8 are equipped with the innovative RockShox Flight Attendant suspension. This technology uses SRAM AXS wireless data to determine the optimal compression settings in real time. The result? Always the perfect balance between climbing, accelerating, and descending, without any manual intervention.
