{"product_id":"specialized-26s-epic-8-comp-evo","title":"Epic 8 EVO Comp","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe fastest downcountry bike in the world. Epic 8 EVO is the dressed up, cranked-to-11 expression of the new Epic 8. Spec’d to slay downcountry terrain with its unmatched combo of capability, efficiency, and light weight, Epic 8 EVO’s updated kinematics allow for insanely efficient climbing—while the Ride Dynamics-tuned shock eats up rough terrain on the way down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIf ripping single track at blazing fast speeds and high fiving your friends is your idea of fun, the Epic 8 EVO is the bike for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUNMATCHED CAPABILITY: The most capable 120mm bike on the planet, made even more capable. You’ll be blown away by how Epic 8 EVO’s 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 some seriously precision handling, too. With a bump up to 130mm of travel up front to eat up the chunk and a slew of trail-friendly specs, Epic 8 EVO feels right at home on the rough stuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWHAT BUMP?: 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. That opens the options for another lap (or 3).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRIDE DYNAMICS TUNED: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valving for Epic 8 EVO’s new shock. Our team prescribes the special damping characteristics to holistically elevate the riding experience. By tuning the dampers alongside the chassis’ leverage rates and new kinematics, we’re able to deliver a bike that rides above the sum of its parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: 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, to ensure you remain in the most efficient pedaling position. It’s the most efficient pedaling suspension bike we’ve ever tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFULLY LOADED: All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials, and an integrated steering stop to prevent the ubiquitous top tube scar the first time you crash and your bars spin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe most capable 120mm bike on the planet. 12% more bump absorption and 20% less pedal bob\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRide Dynamics tuned FOX Float Performance and 130mm FOX 34 Performance fork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLight weight and durable Specialized alloy wheels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSRAM’s legendary full-powered Code Bronze Stealth brakes make for a sleek cockpit and easy adjustments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSWAT 4.0 in down tube to carry trail essentials\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFACT 11m Carbon, Progressive XC Geometry, Rider-First Engineered™, SWAT downtube storage, threaded BB, 12x148mm UDH compatible rear dropout, internal cable routing, 120mm of travel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRear Shock - Fox Float Performance, Evol LV, Ride Dynamics Tuned, 2-position compression adjust, 190x45mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFork - Fox 34 Performance, Grip Damper, Compression adjust, 130mm travel, 44mm offset, 15x110mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFront Brake - SRAM Code Bronze Stealth, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 180\/200mm rotor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRear Brake - SRAM Code Bronze Stealth, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 180mm rotor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eShift Levers - Sram AXS POD Controller\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eChain - SRAM GX Transmission\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCassette - SRAM XS 1270 Transmission, 10-52t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBottom Bracket - SRAM DUB Threaded Wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCrankset - SRAM S1000 Eagle, DUB, 165\/170\/175mm, 32T\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRear Derailleur - SRAM S-1000 Eagle Transmission\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eChainrings - 32t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheels \u0026amp;
