Specialized S-Works Epic 8

Beschreibung

The all-new Epic 8 evolves the formula of fastest through capability, efficiency and lightweight integration. Meet the Epic 8. Its improved kinematics make it the most efficient pedal bike we have ever tested, while its custom-made (and tuned) shock absorbers cushion every bump. It's a wolf in wolf's clothing. UNIQUE CAPACITY: The most capable 120 mm bike in the world. You'll be amazed at how the Epic 8's progressive geometry delivers technical off-road capability alongside fast and efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The absurd lateral and torsional stiffness of the chassis also translates into seriously precise handling. IMPROVED SUSPENSION: Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 12% absorbs more impact and vibration forces than the previous generation, reducing fatigue and strength over time, so you can still push while they suffer. RENEWED DAMPING: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team has developed custom dampers for the Epic 8's new shock absorber. These unique damping features prescribed by Ride Dynamics holistically enhance the riding experience. By matching the dampers to the leverage of the chassis and new kinematics, we are able to deliver a bike that goes beyond the sum of its parts. BEST suspension EVER: By optimising suspension kinematics, Specialized's Ride Dynamics team has reduced inefficient pedal-induced bobbing with 20%, while retaining active suspension for effective impact force management to ensure you stay in the most efficient pedalling position. It is the most efficient bike with pedal suspension we have ever tested. LOWER THAN EVER: With the Epic 8, Specialized hasn't spent a single extra gram to get mega-capacities out of the frame. All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials, and an integrated handlebar stopper to prevent the ubiquitous scar on the top tube when you crash for the first time and turn your handlebars. Indeed, the new S-Works Epic 8 frameset even lost weight (76g to be precise) while getting these new additions. ROCKSHOX FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Free your mind to focus quickly in the heat of the moment. The Specialized Ride Dynamics-Tuned RockShox Flight Attendant (on S-Works models) uses SRAM AXS Wireless technology to collect real-time data from you and the terrain to determine optimal compression settings to provide an unrivalled experience for the rider.
