Escapa presents the world’s fastest downcountry bike. The Specialized Epic 8 EVO Expert 25 is the embodiment of the new Epic 8. Designed and specced to dominate descents thanks to its unmatched combination of capability, efficiency, and lightness, the Epic 8 EVO’s updated kinematics enable incredibly efficient climbs, while the Ride Dynamics shock devours the Terreno on descents.

If your idea of fun is riding singletrack at breakneck speeds, the Specialized Epic 8 EVO Expert 25.

UNMATCHED CAPABILITY:

The most capable 120mm bike on the planet, now even more capable. You’ll be amazed at how the progressive geometry of the Specialized Epic 8 EVO Expert 25 delivers technical trail capabilities alongside fast, efficient climbing and acceleration. The frame’s lateral and torsional stiffness also translates to highly precise handling. With 130mm of front travel and a host of features that make trail riding easier, the Epic 8 EVO is right at home on challenging terrain.

Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 EVO absorbs 12% more impact and vibration forces, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time.

RIDE DYNAMICS TUNED:

The Specialized Ride Dynamics team has developed a new shock for the Epic 8 EVO. By optimizing the suspension kinematics, Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team has reduced inefficient pedal-induced rocking by 20%, keeping the suspension active for effective shock absorption to ensure you stay in the most efficient pedaling position.

All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials, and an integrated headset to prevent that all-too-common scratch on the top tube the first time you crash and the handlebars twist.
