Specialized has released the latest iterations of its Epic cross-country race platform. The new Epic 8 cross-country bike gets a geometry and suspension overhaul while the Epic 8 Evo fully embraces downcountry.
The new Epic 8 bikes share the same frame but are now more distinctly different in performance, with the Epic 8's goal of dominating cross-country races and the Epic 8 Evo bulked up for hard and fast trail duties.
