Experience the new standard in cross-country biking with the Specialized Epic 8 Expert. The Epic 8 Expert is designed to provide you with unsurpassed capability, riding comfort and biomechanical efficiency. This high-performance bike is perfectly suited for racers who value speed, control, and endurance in their biking adventures.
Unparalleled Capability: The Epic 8 Expert boasts arguably the most capable 120mm chassis out there. The bike's progressive geometry enhances its ability to handle technical terrains while delivering efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The rigid chassis provides precision handling, giving you an edge on tight corners and challenging terrains.
Superior Shock Absorption: Unlike its predecessor, the Epic 8 Expert is engineered to provide 12% more bump and vibration absorption. This feature ensures a smoother, more comfortable ride, particularly on lengthy trails or rough terrains, reducing fatigue and enabling you to maintain your pace longer.
Custom Ride Dynamics: The bike's custom shock is expertly developed by the Specialized Ride Dynamics team to heighten the riding experience. This feature ensures that the shock absorber, the damper, the chassis' leverage rates, and new kinematics all work harmoniously to produce a ride that is much greater than the sum of its parts.
Biomechanical Efficiency: With a 20% reduction in pedal-induced bobbing, the Epic 8 Expert ensures that you remain in an efficient pedalling position, providing a smoother, more energy-efficient ride. The bike features the most efficient pedalling suspension system tested to date.
Lightweight Integration: Despite the added capabilities, the Epic 8 Expert's frame does not sacrifice lightness. The bike even features the new SWAT 4.0 system that allows you to carry essential items on the trail, as well as an integrated steering stop to prevent damage to the top tube during a crash. The S-Works Epic 8 frameset is lighter by 76 grams despite these additional features.
Choose the Specialized Epic 8 Expert, and give yourself the competitive edge you've always wanted!

Cycle to Work Scheme: Affordable Riding for UK Employees
Unlock a cost-effective way to own the bike of your dreams through the Cycle to Work Scheme. This initiative, available to employees in the UK, lets you enjoy the benefits of cycling while saving on your bike purchase.
With the Cycle to Work Scheme, you can use your pre-tax salary to acquire a brand-new bicycle and essential cycling accessories. This means significant savings for you, as your salary sacrifice reduces both your income tax and National Insurance contributions.
The process is seamless: Choose the bike that suits your needs and budget from our extensive range. Your employer will then set up a salary sacrifice arrangement, spreading the cost of your bike over a specified period, typically 12 to 18 months.
Once the salary sacrifice period ends, you have the option to own the bike outright for a nominal fee, ensuring you get to keep and enjoy your trusted two-wheeled companion for years to come.
Experience the freedom of cycling, save money, and reduce your carbon footprint with the Cycle to Work Scheme. Join countless UK employees who have already embraced this eco-friendly and wallet-friendly way of commuting.
Trust our 14 years of experience in the bicycle insurance industry. Our comprehensive, customisable, and competitively priced coverage includes easy online quotes, fast claims handling, and expert customer service.
