With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

2026 Specialized Epic 8 Comp SRAM S-1000 AXS XC Mountain Bike - Emerald

Season:2026

Brand:Specialized

Code:42215195446091

The Specialized Epic 8 Comp SRAM S-1000 AXS is built for the demands of modern cross-country racing, delivering the perfect combination of lightweight efficiency, trail-ready capability, and advanced suspension performance. With 120mm of rear travel, progressive XC geometry, and next-generation Ride Dynamics tuning, the Epic 8 Comp redefines what it means to ride fast on technical terrain.

Engineered for peak performance, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more bumps and vibrations than the previous generation while reducing pedal-induced bobbing by 20%. This means more power to the pedals, less fatigue over long rides, and consistent efficiency on climbs, descents, and everything in between. The FACT carbon chassis ensures maximum stiffness and precision handling, making it the most capable XC bike Specialized has ever produced.

Equipped with a SRAM S-1000 Eagle AXS T-Type drivetrain for crisp, wireless shifting and SRAM Motive Bronze 4-piston brakes for reliable stopping power, the Epic 8 Comp is ready for any racecourse. Suspension duties are handled by the RockShox SID Select fork and SIDLuxe Select+ shock, both tuned by Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team for maximum control, speed, and responsiveness.

Practical details include SWAT 4.0 in-frame storage for trail essentials and an integrated steering stop to protect the top tube during crashes. Lightweight Specialized alloy wheels complete the package, offering strength and durability for both racing and training.
