The fastest downcountry bike on the planet, the Epic 8 EVO takes the already impressive Epic 8 and cranks it to 11. Designed to dominate downcountry terrain, it blends unmatched capability, efficiency, and ultra-lightweight design. With updated kinematics for insanely efficient climbing and a Ride Dynamics-tuned shock that devours rough terrain on the way down, the Epic 8 EVO is built for the thrill-seekers who live for ripping singletrack and high-fiving friends.

UNMATCHED CAPABILITY: The Epic 8 EVO is the most capable 120mm bike in existence, and it’s been further refined to deliver even more. Thanks to its progressive geometry, it handles technical terrain like a dream, while still offering the speed and efficiency to climb and accelerate with ease. The bike’s absurd lateral and torsional rigidity translates into precision handling, while a bump to 130mm of front travel smooths out the rough stuff. With trail-ready specs, the Epic 8 EVO is at home on even the toughest terrain.

WHAT BUMP?: Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 EVO absorbs 12% more bumps and vibrations, meaning you’ll experience less fatigue and more power, lap after lap. More comfort, more speed—what’s not to love?

RIDE DYNAMICS TUNED: Developed by the Specialized Ride Dynamics team, the new shock features custom valving that perfectly complements the bike’s updated kinematics. By tuning the suspension in harmony with the chassis’ leverage rates, we’ve created a bike that performs better than the sum of its parts. It’s the ride you’ve been waiting for.

BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: With optimized suspension kinematics, the Epic 8 EVO reduces pedal-induced bob by 20%, keeping you in the most efficient pedaling position while still managing bumps effectively. It’s the most efficient pedaling suspension bike we’ve ever tested—maximizing speed without sacrificing comfort.

FULLY LOADED: Every model comes equipped with SWAT 4.0 storage for your trail essentials, plus an integrated steering stop to prevent the dreaded top tube scar the first time you crash and your bars spin.

FEATURES:

  • The Most Capable 120mm Bike: 12% more bump absorption and 20% less pedal bob than before
  • Ride Dynamics Tuned: FOX Float Factory shock and 130mm FOX 34 Factory fork for precise handling and superior suspension
  • Roval Control Carbon Wheels: Built for everything from World Cup XC races to your favorite weekend trail

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.
