2026 Specialized Epic 8 Expert Mountain Bike
Features
- FACT 11m Carbon Chassis
Built with Specialized’s premium FACT 11m carbon, the Epic 8 Expert delivers outstanding stiffness, reduced frame weight, and razor-sharp handling designed for World Cup XC performance. - RockShox SID Suspension Package
Equipped with a RockShox SID Select+ fork and SID Deluxe shock, the bike offers exceptional small-bump sensitivity, improved mid-stroke support, and race-tuned efficiency for technical XC courses. - Integrated SWAT Storage
The latest generation SWAT system allows riders to store tools, tubes, snacks, and essential gear directly inside the downtube—optimized for long XC races and epic backcountry rides. - SRAM GX Eagle AXS 12-Speed Wireless Transmission
Crisp, fully electronic shifting with the new transmission-based GX AXS system and bombproof durability ensures clean gear changes in all terrain and weather conditions. - Modern Progressive XC Geometry
Slacker head angle, steeper seat tube, and longer reach improve descending confidence and climbing power, delivering balanced performance for today’s demanding XC race tracks. - Roval Control Carbon Wheelset
Lightweight carbon wheels reduce rotational mass and increase responsiveness, giving racers a competitive advantage on both climbs and technical sections. - Internal Cable Routing & Clean Aesthetics
Sleek internal routing enhances durability and gives the bike a clean, modern appearance with easy maintenance access.
