Specialized Epic 8 EVO Comp Bike (2025)

Specialized Epic 8 EVO Comp mountain bike, black color, 2025 model. Specialized reference: 90325-5304

The fastest downhill bike in the world. The Epic 8 EVO is the ultimate expression of the new Epic 8. Designed to dominate descents thanks to its unmatched combination of capability, efficiency, and lightweight design, the updated kinematics of the Epic 8 EVO allows for incredibly efficient climbs while the Ride Dynamics shock devours the terrain on descents.

• UNMATCHED CAPABILITY: The most capable 120mm bike on the planet, now even more capable. You will be amazed at how the progressive geometry of the Epic 8 EVO offers capability for technical terrain along with quick and efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The absurd lateral and torsional stiffness of the chassis also translates into precise handling. With 130mm of travel in the front and a series of trail-friendly features, the Epic 8 EVO feels at home in tough terrain.
• WHAT BUMPS? 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. This opens options for another lap (or 3).
• RIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team has developed a custom valving for the new Epic 8 EVO shock. Our team prescribes the special damping characteristics to holistically elevate the riding experience. By tuning the shocks along with the leverage rates of the chassis and the new kinematics, we can offer a bike that moves above the sum of its parts.
• BIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the suspension kinematics, the Specialized Ride Dynamics team reduced the inefficient pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, keeping the suspension active for effective bump force management, ensuring you remain in the most efficient pedaling position. It is the most pedal-efficient suspension bike we have ever tested.
• MORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8 EVO, we haven’t added an ounce of unnecessary weight to achieve greater frame capability. All models now include SWAT 4.0 for carrying all your essential trail items, and an integrated headset cap to prevent the omnipresent scar on the top tube the first time you fall and the handlebars turn.
