Eye-watering pricing aside, the Epic 9 makes a strong case as the benchmark XC platform—with one annoying “upgrade”.
abr 2026 · Jordan Villella
Specialized just killed three bikes with one… Epic 9. So say goodbye (for now) to the Epic EVO, the Epic World Cup, and Epic 8 (classic).
Lightest full-suspension XC race frame ever at 1,589g
11% lower suspension friction than Epic 8
Active ride with improved leverage curve
Well-dialed geometry carried over from Epic 8
Magic Middle damping setting delivers firm pedaling with active bump tracking
SWAT Box 2.0 reintroduced with leaner, racer-focused package
Adjustable chain watcher from MRP
Flip chip for geometry adjustment
Internal storage removed (SWAT Box replaced, now less integrated for non-race use?)
Limited edition LTD UL has only 110mm travel
Claimed weight savings may not be noticeable to all riders
abr 2026 · Alex Hunt
It's lighter and sharper, but the bigger story is how one bike replaces the brand’s XC lineup.
abr 2026 · Dario DiGiulio
The new Epic is impressively light, but thru-headset cable routing is now found on all models.

Lightest production full suspension ever built
Increased tire clearance
Integrated mudflap
Size-specific chainstay lengths
Steeper seat angle (half degree)

Through-headset cable routing for rear brake (step backwards for maintenance)
Extra Small size cut from lineup
Tight insertion depth for dropper post on XL with 175mm AXS Reverb

The result is a single-frame design that, depending on the components added, can be either a competitive XC racing rig or a confident trail bike that is ready for anything thrown its way.
abr 2024 · Spencer Astra
During the darkest part of the Northwest winter, I found myself aboard the new Specialized Epic 8 Evo Pro, a short-travel speed demon. After a nasty broken elbow, the Epic Evo and I seem to be sharing new titanium hardware. With 130 millimeters of travel up front and 120 at the rear, the new Epic is a cross-country bike that leans more toward gnarlier terrain than a true race bred rig as it seamlessly blends efficiency with just enough grit to tackle unforgiving trails. Even as I pedaled slow and muddy singletrack, this bike remained remarkably zippy—a testament to its short travel, low build weight, and efficient frame kinematics. Specialized has managed to shave off a few grams from the previous model iteration while producing a stable, refined ride. As I climbed, the Epic Evo’s main standout feature was efficiency. Despite the slow winter dirt, I was usually climbing with enough speed to generate a slight wind on my face. The rear shock platform felt taught and supportive under pedaling load. One of the most notable qualities of the Evo, while both climbing and descending, was the frame’s ability to eat high-frequency vibrations from the trail. My left elbow is fairly sensitive as it recovers from the break and, even with only 120 millimeters of travel, the Evo maintained a soft touch while clambering over roots and rocks.

Goodbye Brain, hello SWAT and Flight Attendant
mar 2024 · Guy Kesteven
With an Olympics to win 2024 is going to be a big year for XC bikes. Specialized has thrown down a serious challenge to the rest of the pack with its ultra-tech, ultra-fast, and freaky fun S-Works Epic 8
Superlight sub-1,800g frame with awesome geometry
Stiff, tough and practical enough to ride really hard
New kick-ass pedaling kinematics
Up to 1.7 liters of internal storage
Ultimate SRAM/RockShox AXS XC equipment
Excellent Specialized/Roval wheels, tires, and finishing kit
High tech is high-cost
Flight Attendant means more batteries, whirring, and weight
