Specialized Epic 8 Comp – The Most Capable 120mm XC Machine

Introducing the Specialized Epic 8 Comp, where uncompromising capability meets proven efficiency on the world’s most demanding cross-country terrain. Now available at The Cycle Hub, this exceptional Mountain Bike delivers race-winning performance and reliability for serious XC competitors who refuse to compromise on speed or technical mastery.

Evolution of the Fastest: Unmatched 120mm Capability

The Specialized Epic 8 Comp evolves the legendary Epic formula through improved kinematics, that make it the most efficient pedalling bike Specialized has ever tested. Specifically, as the most capable 120mm bike on the planet, it delivers technical terrain capability alongside fast acceleration. Consequently, the absurd lateral and torsional rigidity of the FACT 11m carbon chassis translates to precision handling on every trail.

12% More Bump Absorption, 20% Less Pedal Bobwhich

Compared to the previous generation, the Epic 8 Comp absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces, leaving you less fatigued over time. Furthermore, the Specialized Ride Dynamics team optimised the kinematics to reduce inefficient pedal-induced bobbing by 20%. By maintaining an active suspension while minimising energy loss, this MTB ensures you remain in the most efficient pedalling position throughout your ride in the UAE.

Ride Dynamics Tuned RockShox Suspension

The Specialized Epic 8 Comp features a RockShox SID Select fork and RockShox SIDLuxe Select+ rear shock, both developed and tuned by Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team. In addition, the 3-position compression adjustment with TwistLoc remote control allows the suspension to adapt intelligently to terrain conditions. Thus, you get maximum versatility on variable terrain, whether you are tackling steep climbing sections or fast descents.

SRAM Eagle T-Type AXS & Lightweight FACT 11m Carbon

Equipped with the reliable SRAM Eagle T-Type AXS Transmission, the Epic 8 Comp provides smooth, electronic shifting even under load. Moreover, the frame is constructed from advanced FACT 11m Carbon, achieving a weight of just 11.89kg. Because it features the SWAT 4.0 internal storage and an integrated steering stop, this Mountain Bike delivers “more with less,” providing mega capability without a weight penalty for the UAE Cycling Community.
