Push your boundaries and break new grounds with the Epic 8 EVO Expert mountain bike from Specialized. Engineered for the thrill-seekers, this incredible machine combines unparalleled speed, ultimate efficiency, and ultralight features engineered to optimise your performance on every ride.

Unmatched Capability: Epic 8 EVO Expert is not your ordinary 120mm bike. With its advanced geometry, it delivers exceptional handling and aggressive performance on technical terrains. Enjoy superior climbing, swift acceleration, and precise control thanks to its absurd lateral and torsional rigidity. This world-class bike flaunts a beefed-up 130mm travel upfront for superior shock absorption even on the roughest trails.

What Bump?: Compared to its predecessor, Epic 8 EVO Expert now handles 12% more bump and vibration forces, minimising fatigue and keeping you in top form for that much-needed extra lap. This means less strain, more game.

Ride Dynamics Tuned: Specialized Ride Dynamics team introduces custom valving for the new shock absorber in the bike. By synchronising the damper tuning with the new kinematics and leverage rates of the chassis, we breath life into a beast that packs more punch than the sum of its parts.

Biomechanical Efficiency: Our design team further dialled down pedal-induced bobbing by improving the kinematics of the suspension. This smart innovation results in a 20% reduction in energy-inefficient movement, while maintaining active shock mitigation. It�s the most pedal-efficient suspension bike you'd ever see on a trail.

Fully-loaded: Beyond its trail-blazing performance, Epic 8 EVO Expert is geared up with SWAT 4.0 to stow all your ride essentials without a fuss. Never worry about crashing; we've integrated a steering stop to protect your top tube.

Key Features:

  • Proven as the most capable 120mm bike with 12% better bump absorption and 20% less pedal bob
  • Ride Dynamics fine-tuned FOX Float Performance Elite and 130mm FOX 34 Performance Elite fork

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.
