Specialized Epic 8 Expert Description:

The Specialized Epic 8 Expert builds on a legacy of cross-country greatness with breakthroughs that increase capability, efficiency, and lightweight integration. XC mountain bike courses have evolved to newer heights with technical details that require more daring and skill from every rider; Epic 8 Expert delivers improved kinematics that conquer climbs and custom-valve, custom-tuned shocks that take the sting out of harsh bumps. SRAM GX Eagle AXS transmission operates consistently in all situations, including under load, for shifting that can answer the demands of fast-paced technical climbs on tricky race courses or your favorite training grounds. Integrated cable routing results in the cleanest lines found in modern mountain bikes when combined with SRAM Code Bronze Stealth brake levers for an almost invisible look from the rider’s perspective. Specialized’s internal R+D team, Ride Dynamics, worked to custom tune the performance of the equipped Fox Float Performance Elite rear shock and Fox 34 Performance Elite fork, resulting in a suspension package that moves in a way that drives every bit of potential out of the Epic 8 Expert.

Features:

• Highly capable 120mm travel full suspension cross-country mountain bike
• Fox Suspension Fox Float Performance Elite shock tuned by Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team for bike-specific performance
• 130mm travel Fox Suspension 34 Performance Elite Fork also receives Ride Dynamics Tune, issuing contiguous suspension balance
• Unique suspension damper settings give users access to three distinct suspension profiles, offering an ideal setting for every scenario
• Roval Control carbon-fiber wheelset takes on everything from World Cup XC races or local trails without skipping a beat
• SWAT 4.0 frame storage system stores valued trail essentials inside the frame for sleek stowage of tools, flat repair materials, and more
• SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission performs consistently and accurately all day, with the benefit of being able to operate under load
• Flip-Chip frame design unlocks two different bottom bracket and headtube profiles with distinct ride characteristics; just “flip and rip”
