Unleash your speed with the all-new Specialized Epic 8 Pro, the ultimate high-performance 120mm cross-country mountain bike built to dominate today’s demanding XC race courses and rugged singletrack. Designed for XC racers and competitive trail riders, the Epic 8 Pro blends race-tuned efficiency, enhanced bump compliance, and progressive trail geometry in a lightweight FACT carbon frame.

Featuring Ride Dynamics-tuned RockShox SID Ultimate Flight Attendant suspension, a wireless SRAM XO Eagle AXS Transmission, and Roval Control SL VI carbon wheels, this full-suspension XC bike delivers the perfect balance of power, control, and comfort for riders chasing podiums and peak performance.

The Ultimate XC Race & Trail Bike

The Epic 8 Pro is engineered with modern XC geometry: longer reach, steeper seat tube angle, and slacker head tube for enhanced control and climbing power. Paired with a stiffer, lighter carbon chassis and cutting-edge suspension performance, this XC MTB climbs with purpose and descends with confidence.

The Epic 8 Pro is designed for competitive XC racers looking for a carbon race bike with wireless tech and adaptive suspension, trail riders who value speed, climbing efficiency, and descending confidence, and data-driven athletes who want integrated power meter functionality. It also suits riders seeking a lightweight, race-ready MTB with progressive geometry and durable trail components.

Experience the next evolution in cross-country mountain biking with the Specialized Epic 8 Pro, where speed meets intelligence, and capability meets control.
