Epic 8 EVO Pro Frameset - FOX FLOAT Factory

The Epic 8 EVO is the fastest downcountry bike in the world, representing the dressed up, cranked-to-11 expression of the new Epic 8. Spec'd to slay downcountry terrain with an unmatched combo of capability, efficiency, and light weight, it delivers insanely efficient climbing while the Ride Dynamics-tuned shock eats up rough terrain on the way down. The Epic 8 EVO is the most capable 120mm bike on the planet, made even more capable. Its progressive geometry delivers technical terrain capability alongside fast and efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The absurd lateral and torsional rigidity of the chassis translates to precision handling, and a bump up to 130mm of travel up front helps eat up the chunk with trail-friendly specs. Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 EVO absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time. The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valving for the new shock, prescribing special damping characteristics to holistically elevate the riding experience. By tuning the dampers alongside the chassis' leverage rates and new kinematics, the bike rides above the sum of its parts. By optimizing the kinematics of the suspension, Specialized's Ride Dynamics team reduced inefficient pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, maintaining active suspension for effective bump force management. This ensures you remain in the most efficient pedaling position, making it the most efficient pedaling suspension bike Specialized has ever tested. All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials, and an integrated steering stop to prevent top tube damage when bars spin during a crash.
