Specialized Epic 8 Pro Mountain Bike Description:
The Specialized Epic 8 further evolves the formula for the fastest and most capable XC bike on the planet. Modern race tracks are more demanding than ever, so Specialized set out to create a lightweight and efficient platform to win races. Using Ride Dynamics to maximize power and traction delivered to the rear wheel, RockShox custom-tuned the 120mm travel suspension to soak up every bump. Carbon fiber 29" wheels roll fast and keep the weight down to gain every second while the standout SRAM XO Transmission silently puts you in the lead group. The ability to change geometry to suit the terrain utilizing Flip-Chip technology may just be the ticket to the podium. There's no hiding the fact that the Epic 8 is a serious competitor, a wolf in wolf's clothing, ready to devour the competition.
