Epic 8 EVO: The Fastest Downcountry Bike in the World
The Epic 8 EVO is the no-holds-barred evolution of the new Epic 8—built to dominate modern downcountry terrain with an unmatched blend of capability, pedalling efficiency, and ultra-lightweight design. Cranked to 11 and dressed to shred, this is the bike for riders who want trail-capable fun without sacrificing pure speed. With updated suspension kinematics and a Ride Dynamics-tuned shock, it climbs like a rocket and charges descents with total confidence.
If ripping singletrack at warp speed and high-fiving your crew is your definition of fun, the Epic 8 EVO is your dream ride.
UNMATCHED CAPABILITY
The most capable 120mm bike on the planet—made even more capable. The Epic 8 EVO takes everything great about the standard Epic 8 and turns it up a notch. A bump up to 130mm of front travel, trail-tuned components, and progressive geometry make this bike feel right at home on steep, technical descents. Add in a chassis with extreme lateral and torsional stiffness, and you’ve got razor-sharp handling wrapped in pure trail speed.
WHAT BUMP?
Compared to the previous generation, the Epic 8 EVO absorbs 12% more trail chatter and vibration. That means less fatigue, more power, and the energy to crush lap after lap. Whether you're sprinting for a KOM or just riding longer, you'll finish strong while others fade.
RIDE DYNAMICS-TUNED PERFORMANCE
Custom valving developed by the Specialized Ride Dynamics team elevates suspension performance beyond expectations. By tuning the shock’s damping characteristics in harmony with the frame’s leverage rate and refined kinematics, Epic 8 EVO rides with a cohesive, balanced feel that turns every trail into a playground.
EFFICIENCY ON LOCK
The Epic 8 EVO shares the most efficient suspension kinematics we’ve ever created. Pedal-induced bobbing is reduced by 20%, while maintaining active bump absorption. That means more of your energy goes straight into the pedals—and less into wasted motion. It’s the most efficient pedalling suspension bike we’ve tested, period.
FULLY LOADED FUNCTIONALITY
Every Epic 8 EVO model comes equipped with SWAT 4.0 in-frame storage for tools and essentials, plus an integrated steering stop to protect your frame when your bars spin in a crash. No weight wasted, no detail overlooked.
SPEC HIGHLIGHTS:
The Epic 8 EVO takes downcountry to the next level—faster on the climbs, fearless on the descents, and fully dialed for every trail in between. If speed is your fun language, this bike speaks it fluently.

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.
