abr 2026

Eye-watering pricing aside, the Epic 9 makes a strong case as the benchmark XC platform—with one annoying “upgrade”.

Specialized’s New Epic 9 Might Be The Only Epic You Need

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

Lows
  • 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

Bike Review | Specialized Epic 8 Evo Pro

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.
