Intelligent and personalized suspension
The suspension system has been adjusted by the Ride Dynamics team of Specialized, offering improved impact absorption by 12% compared to the previous generation. This results in less fatigue and more power during long routes or intense competencies.
Maximum biomechanical efficiency
Thanks to an advanced optimisation of the suspension system, the unnecessary movement has been reduced by 20% by pedaling, always maintaining an efficient and active position, even on irregular terrain.
Lightness with integrated technology
The new Epic 8 Expert is not only more capable, but also lighter. It includes the SWAT 4.0 system for internal tool storage and integrated management protection that prevents damage to the upper tube in case of fall.
