2026 Specialized Epic 8 Pro SRAM X0 AXS Mountain Bike - Sandstone

Season:2026

Brand:Specialized

Code:42215245446092

The Specialized Epic 8 Pro SRAM X0 AXS is the most advanced downcountry mountain bike ever built, combining cross-country efficiency with trail bike capability. Featuring 120mm of rear travel and a 130mm FOX 34 Step-Cast Factory fork, the Epic 8 Pro is engineered to dominate climbs while delivering confident, controlled descents on technical singletrack.

With updated kinematics and Specialized Ride Dynamics tuning, the Epic 8 Pro absorbs 12% more bumps and vibrations compared to the previous generation, reducing rider fatigue and letting you push harder for longer. The optimised suspension platform also reduces pedal bob by 20%, making it the most efficient full-suspension pedaling bike Specialized has ever produced.

Built around a stiff, lightweight carbon chassis with progressive geometry, the Epic 8 Pro offers razor-sharp handling and stability on demanding terrain. Outfitted with a wireless SRAM X0 Eagle AXS Transmission drivetrain, Motive Silver 4-piston brakes, and Roval Control carbon wheels, this bike delivers uncompromising performance for aggressive XC racers and fast trail riders alike.

Practical details include SWAT 4.0 frame storage for trail essentials and an integrated steering stop to protect your top tube. Whether you’re chasing podiums or ripping your favorite local trails, the Epic 8 Pro SRAM X0 AXS is the most capable and efficient 120mm downcountry bike on the market.
