LONG TERM REVIEW: SPECIALIZED S-WORKS EPIC 8 - THE EVOLUTION CONTINUES - Mountain Bike Action Magazine

déc. 2024 · Ron Koch

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.

Bike Perfect
I tested the new Specialized Epic 8 Evo Pro – its mixture of lightweight speed and middleweight control blew me away

mars 2024 · Guy Kesteven

Specialized’s cult favorite rowdy XC winner jumps up a whole weight category to burly downcountry, but does it still have the race speed our expert tester loved before?

Points forts
  • Excellent tech taming longer, lower mainframe geometry

  • XC weight frame with punchy pedaling leaves trail competitors standing

  • Fox Factory Grip2 fork, Float shock and Transfer dropper

  • Puncture reducing rims and grippy T9/T7 Grid tires

  • Generous internal storage, SWAT stem and two bottle cage mounts

Points faibles
  • Nearly a kilo heavier than the previous Epic Evo Comp

  • Shock feels too firm at times

  • Limited rear tire space

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 Hardtail Comp review - MBR

sept. 2023 · Alan Muldoon

Who is the Epic hardtail for? That’s the question I posed to the product manager responsible for Specialized’s XC race bikes. His response was both honest and telling. “It’s for anyone that wants an XC bike, but can’t stretch their budget to get a full suspension bike.” Best cross country mountain bikes: reviewed and rated by experts And it makes perfect sense. At 10.68kg without pedals, the Epic Hardtail Comp is a really light 29er for the money. To get even close to that target weight with a full suspension bike you’d easily be looking at double that, which instantly rules out those bikes for a lot of riders. Need to know Lightweight 29er XC race hardtail designed of speed Fact 11m carbon frame with threaded BB and 148m dropout spacing RockShox Reba RL fork delivers 100mm travel SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain with full range 10-52t cassette The cockpit has a 60mm stem and 750mm bar to enhance control Four frame sizes: S – XL  with entry-level bike for £3,300 And it makes perfect sense. At 10.68kg without pedals, the Epic Hardtail Comp is a really light 29er for the money. To get even close to that target weight with a full suspension bike you’d easily be looking at double that, which instantly rules out those bikes for a lot of riders. And weight is very important. XC racers are obsessed with it; their own, and that of the bike.  And for good reason. Because for a given power output, lighter is always going to be faster when going uphill. In fact, that’s where I really noticed the benefits of the Epic HT over much heavier trail forced hardtails. The combination of the faster rolling tyres and reduced weight instantly lure you into a false sense of fitness, and before you know it you have your sights set on distant riders that you know you can easily pick off. Specialized S-Works Epic World Cup: first ride review That’s not to say the Epic HT is amazing on the climbs. Fast, yes, but you do need to stay focused, pick good lines and wrestle the front end quite a bit. And that’s primarily because the Epic HT has a short 425mm chainstay length and relatively slack 74.2º seat tube angle. Taken together, these dimensions give the bike a more rearward weight bias, which makes the front end on the Epic is pretty flighty when seated climbing, at least on steeper gradients. And if the climb is chunky, then the relatively skinny 2.35in Specialized Fast Trak/Renegade tyre combo means you need to be on your A game not to lose traction or get knocked off line. Power delivery is direct and purposeful though, and the 100mm travel RockShox Reba fork really limits how much of your energy gets lost in compressing the suspension with every downstroke of the pedals. Approach the top of the cassette and SRAM’s cable operated Eagle transmission has less even jumps than Shimano’s 12-speed cassettes, but shifting is …Continue reading »

Points forts
  • Light, reactive ride. Nice damped feel to the carbon frame. SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain offers impressive performance

Points faibles
  • Shifter hits top tube. Cables rattle in frame. No dropper post. Geometry is dated

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.
