About the build
An uneven spec mix: a value-oriented drivetrain at Balanced-tier set against standout wheels at Elite-tier. The entire drivetrain is SRAM. Elite-tier wheels paired with Balanced-tier tyres. New rubber is an easy, low-cost fix. There are mountain bikes at this component level in a lower price bracket.

Manufacturer's description
Den helt nye Epic 8 har udviklet sig inden for kapacitet, effektivitet og let integration. Moderne XC-spor kræver mere og mere kapacitet dag for dag. Her kommer Epic 8 ind i billedet. Dens forbedrede kinematik gør det til den mest effektive XC-cykel vi nogensinde har testet, mens tilpassede ventilerede (og justerede) dæmpere opsuger et hvert bump. Det er en ulv i ulveklæder. Hvis du er en XC-racer eller prioriterer maksimal hastighed på din tur, er Epic 8 cyklen for dig. UOVERTRUFFEN KAPACITET: Den mest effektive 120 mm cykel på planeten. Du vil blive blæst væk af, hvordan Epic 8's progressive geometri leverer teknisk terrænkapacitet sammen med hurtig og effektiv klatring og acceleration. Den absurde sideværts og vridningsstivhed fra stellet oversættes også til en præcis håndtering. HVAD BUMP? Sammenlignet med den foregående generation absorberer den nye Epic 8, 12% flere bump- og vibrationer end den foregående generation, hvilket efterlader dig mindre træt og mere kraftfuld over tid, så du stadig kan presse dig selv, mens de andre allerede lider. RIDE DYNAMICS TUNET: Specialized Ride Dynamics-team udviklede tilpasset ventiler til Epic 8's nye dæmper. Vores unikke Ride Dynamics-foreskrevne dæmpningsegenskaber hæver helhedsoplevelsen. Ved at justere dæmperne sammen med stellets udvekslingsforhold og nye kinematikker, er vi i stand til at levere en cykel der kører over alle forventninger. BIOMEKANISK EFFEKTIVITET: Ved at optimere affjedringens kinematik, reducerede Specialized Ride Dynamics-team ineffektiv pedaltråd med 20%, hvilket opretholder aktiv affjedring for effektiv håndtering af bumpkræfter, for at sikre at du forbliver i den mest effektive pedalposition. Det er den mest effektive affjedringens cykel, vi nogensinde har testet. MERE MED MINDRE: Med Epic 8 brugte vi ikke et eneste ekstra gram for at få mega kapacitet fra stellet. Alle modeller har nu SWAT 4.0 til at bære alle dine vigtige ting til sporet og et integreret styrestop for at forhindre en skade fra styret, første gang du styrter. Faktisk har det nye S-Works Epic 8 ramme endda tabt vægt (76 gram for at være præcis), selvom der er kommet nye tilføjelser.
