FACT 11m Carbon. SRAM S-1000 AXS Transmission. Ride Dynamics Tuned.
The all-new Specialized Epic 8 Comp evolves the formula of "fastest through capability." Modern XC tracks demand more every day, and the Epic 8 delivers.

It’s a wolf in wolf’s clothing—designed to dominate the race course and the local trail alike.

- SRAM S-1000 Eagle AXS: The latest wireless electronic Transmission provides robust, flawless shifting under load, utilizing a hangerless interface for maximum durability.
- Ride Dynamics 3-Position Suspension: Both the RockShox SID Select fork and SIDLuxe Select+ shock are custom-tuned to offer three distinct settings for climbing, sprinting, and technical descending.
- Improved Kinematics: Engineered to reduce pedal-induced bob and maximize power transfer, making it a climbing machine that doesn't sacrifice downhill plushness.
- SRAM Motive Bronze Brakes: High-performance 4-piston hydraulic calipers provide modern stopping power for high-speed XC racing.
- Specialized Fast Trak & Air Trak Tires: 2.35" high-volume tires with T5/T7 dual compounds offer the perfect blend of rolling speed and cornering grip.
