Specialized S-Works Epic 8 Mountain Bike Description:
The Specialized S-Works Epic 8 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. The S-Works Epic 8 delivers improved kinematics that conquer climbs and custom-valve, custom-tuned shocks that take the sting out of harsh bumps. SRAM XX SL 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 Level Ultimate 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 RockShox SIDLuxe Select+ shock and SID Select+ fork resulting in shocks that move in a way that drive every bit of potential out of the S-Works Epic 8 to ensure every edge over the competition.
