{"product_id":"specialized-epic-8-evo-comp","title":"Specialized Epic 8 EVO Comp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fastest downcountry bike in the world. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT BUMP?: Compared to 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most capable 120mm bike on the planet. 12% more bump absorption and 20% less pedal bob\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRide Dynamics tuned FOX Float Performance and 130mm FOX 34 Performance fork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLight weight and durable Specialized alloy wheels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSRAM’s legendary full-powered Code Bronze Stealth brakes make for a sleek cockpit and easy adjustments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReliable and durable GX Eagle 12-speed groupset\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSWAT 4.0 in down tube to carry trail essentials\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrameset\u003cbr\u003e\nFrame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFACT 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\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeat Binder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialized Alloy, 34.9, Steel bolt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSWAT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSWAT internal downtube storage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuspension\u003cbr\u003e\nRear Shock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFox Float Performance, Evol LV, Ride Dynamics Tuned, 2-position compression adjust, 190x45mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFox 34 Performance, Grip Damper, Compression adjust, 130mm travel, 44mm offset, 15x110mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrakes\u003cbr\u003e\nFront Brake\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSRAM Code Bronze Stealth, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 180\/200mm rotor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRear Brake\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSRAM Code Bronze Stealth, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 180mm rotor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrivetrain\u003cbr\u003e\nShift Levers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSRAM GX, trigger, 12-speed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRear Derailleur\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSRAM GX Eagle, 12-speed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCassette\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSRAM XG-1275, 12-speed, 10-52t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSRAM NX Eagle, 12-speed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrankset\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSRAM X1000 Eagle, DUB, 165\/170\/175mm 32T\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChainrings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSteel 32T\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBottom Bracket\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSRAM DUB, BSA 73mm, Threaded\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWheels \u0026amp; Tires\u003cbr\u003e\nRims\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialized Alloy 29, 27mm internal width, tubeless\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFront Hub\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlloy, sealed cartridge bearings, 15x110mm thru-axle, 28h\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRear Hub\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlloy, sealed cartridge bearings, 148mmx12mm thru-axle, 28h\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpokes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDT Swiss Industry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFront Tire\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialized Purgatory, GRID Casing, T9 Compound, 29x2.4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRear Tire\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialized Ground Control, GRID Casing, T7 Compound, 29x2.35\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInner Tubes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStandard, Presta Valve\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCockpit\u003cbr\u003e\nStem\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlloy Stem, 35mm clamp, 50mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHandlebars\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialized Alloy, 20mm rise, 35mm, 760mm wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrips\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialized Trail Grips\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSaddle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBody Geometry Power Sport, steel rails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeatPost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eX-Fusion Manic, 30.9, 125\/150\/170 Travel, 0mm offset\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeight\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e12.61kg (27 lb, 12.8 oz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeight Size\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e* Weights based on production painted frames as pictured.
