{"product_id":"specialized-epic-8-expert-nero","title":"Specialized Epic 8 Expert - Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe new Specialized Epic 8 bike is the exaltation of the concept of speed as a sum of the ability to tackle obstacles, efficiency, and lightness. Modern XC trails require increasingly high performance from bikes, which is why Specialized has further perfected and refined the suspension kinematics on the Epic 8, offering an even more efficient ride. The shock absorbers with custom specifications and settings can absorb every impact, making the Epic 8 a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you are an XC competitor and your goal is maximum speed, the Epic 8 is the perfect bike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGREAT CAPACITY: The 120mm travel and progressive geometry make the Epic 8 extremely capable on technical trails, very fast and efficient uphill, and incredibly responsive and snappy in acceleration. The torsional and lateral stiffness also ensures perfect steering precision.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWHICH IMPACTS?: Compared to the previous model, the Epic 8 absorbs 12% more impact forces and vibrations, allowing you to tire less and maximize energy for pushing hard on the pedals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRIDE DYNAMICS: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has developed a custom tuning for the Epic 8's shock, whose characteristics elevate the holistic riding experience. The specific tuning developed alongside the leverage ratios and renewed kinematics improve the ride exponentially.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the kinematics of the Epic 8, the Specialized Ride Dynamics Team has reduced the induced movement during pedaling by 20% while keeping the suspension active for more effective shock management. This way, the rider can maintain a more efficient pedaling position. The result is the most efficient dual-suspension bike we have ever created.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8, we have not added a single gram of weight to improve its features. All models now include SWAT 4.0 and an integrated headset to prevent frame damage in case of slips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe bike with 120mm travel that is most capable.
