The All-New Epic 8: Fast, Capable, and Smarter Than Ever
The Epic 8 redefines what speed feels like on today’s evolving XC tracks. Built around the idea that fast should also mean capable, efficient, and integrated, this next-generation race machine brings unmatched pedalling performance, class-leading bump absorption, and smart design features—without compromising weight. It’s a wolf in wolf’s clothing.
If you're an XC racer or crave all-out speed on every ride, this is your bike.
UNMATCHED CAPABILITY
The most capable 120mm XC bike on the planet. The Epic 8’s progressive geometry gives you the edge in technical terrain while delivering explosive acceleration and confident climbing. Its ultra-rigid chassis provides exceptional lateral and torsional stiffness for razor-sharp handling, letting you thread the needle at speed with total control.
WHAT BUMP?
The Epic 8 absorbs 12% more trail chatter and vibration than the previous generation. Less fatigue, more power retention, and the energy to push harder when it counts—this bike keeps you fresher, longer, so you can ride at your limit while others fall behind.
RIDE DYNAMICS-TUNED PERFORMANCE
Developed by the Specialized Ride Dynamics team, the Epic 8’s custom-tuned shock features damper settings specifically tailored to the bike’s leverage curve and new suspension kinematics. The result? A fully integrated ride feel where suspension, chassis, and geometry work in perfect harmony—delivering control you can feel and speed you can trust.
MAXIMUM PEDALING EFFICIENCY
Suspension kinematics have been reengineered to reduce pedal-induced bob by 20% compared to the previous generation. With improved anti-squat characteristics and active bump compliance, the Epic 8 delivers the most efficient pedaling performance of any suspension bike we've ever tested—so every watt goes into forward motion.
MORE TECH, LESS WEIGHT
We didn’t add grams to make the Epic 8 more capable—we cut them. Even with new features like SWAT 4.0 storage and an integrated steering stop, the S-Works Epic 8 frame still drops 76 grams. Lighter, smarter, and more functional—because peak performance demands no compromises.
ROCKSHOX FLIGHT ATTENDANT
Available on S-Works models, Ride Dynamics-Tuned RockShox Flight Attendant takes the guesswork out of suspension setup. Using SRAM AXS wireless technology, it reads real-time rider and terrain data to automatically adjust compression settings—so you stay focused on speed, not switches.
SPEC HIGHLIGHTS:
The Epic 8 doesn’t just meet the demands of modern XC—it sets the standard. Light, capable, and ruthlessly efficient, this is what it feels like when everything comes together in one race-dominating package.

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.
