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.

Bike Review | Specialized Epic 8 Evo Pro

avr. 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.

Specialized Epic World Cup review: the carving knife of XC   - Escape Collective

oct. 2023 · Dave Rome

In believing that full suspension is always the faster choice in mountain biking, the Epic WC is Specialized’s replacement for its top-tier cross-country race hardtails.

Points forts
  • Can be set to pedal like a hardtail

  • Is incredibly efficient on smooth surfaces

  • Dialled geometry

  • Lovely frame build quality

  • Good frame rigidity with no creaks or groans

  • No fiddly remote lockouts means an ultra-clean cockpit

  • Solid component spec choices with nice wheels and a powermeter.

Points faibles
  • Suspension can either feel choppy or have you wishing for a lockout

  • Poor headset sealing

  • Minimal weight advantage over a longer-travel full suspension

  • Brain-equipped fork still has a thunk

  • No dropper provided

  • SRAM Level brake lever feel and power.

Specialized Epic EVO, TransAlp Tested

août 2023 · Maureen Gaffney

The Specialized Epic EVO nudges the racy XC bike into trail territory, making it the perfect choice for the BikeTransAlp multi-day stage race.

Points forts
  • It’s beautiful. Beauty may be skin deep, but let’s just admit aesthetics matter. I want to ride this bike. I want to be seen riding this bike

  • It’s lightweight

  • It’s incredibly capable. 29″ wheels with the perfect suspension combo make climbing actually enjoyable, while the addition of 10 more millimeters of suspension travel front and rear as compared to the Epic means descending is not compromised for the sake of climbing performance.

Points faibles
  • Shifter paddles not as adjustable or ergonomic as one might hope.

  • It costs nearly $9,000. I won’t say it’s not worth it, and this is not a high price in comparison to other bikes of this caliber. But it’s still nine thousand dollars and that’s a lot of rent or groceries.
