Specialized

Epic 8 Evo Pro Frame

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"If I wanted to build a lightweight, trail-capable XC bike that doesn't shy away from technical singletrack, this is the frame I’d choose. The Epic 8 EVO Pro Frameset delivers that perfect blend of pedaling efficiency and bump-gobbling suspension, with geometry that's responsive yet composed."

The Epic 8 EVO Pro Frameset sets a new standard for what we expect from a modern downcountry platform. Built from Specialized’s FACT 11m carbon, it blends the lightning-fast reflexes of a pure XC race machine with the confidence and capability to get rowdy when the trail calls for it. Featuring 120mm of rear travel and paired best with a 130mm fork, it’s the kind of platform that blurs lines and maximizes stoke.

Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team tuned the included Fox Float Factory shock specifically for the EVO’s updated kinematics, delivering plush support on rough trails without sacrificing power transfer when hammering climbs. This refined suspension platform absorbs 12% more bump force than the previous generation, keeping fatigue low and control high over long days in the saddle.

With integrated SWAT 4.0 storage, internal cable routing, and an included steering stop to protect the frame, the Epic 8 EVO Pro Frameset is as thoughtful as it is fast. Whether you’re chasing PRs or building your dream trail rocket, it’s the perfect launch point.
