Specialized S-Works Epic 8 EVO - 2026, S4/Large

The 2026 Specialized S-Works Epic 8 EVO is the pinnacle of the "downcountry" revolution, blurring the lines between a lightning-fast XC racer and a capable trail bike. Built on the ultra-premium FACT 12m carbon frame, this size S4 (Large) rig features the most advanced integration in the industry. It is equipped with the flagship Shimano XTR Di2 electronic drivetrain, complete with an integrated power meter, and the revolutionary FOX Transfer NEO wireless dropper post. With a 130mm FOX 34 SL Factory fork up front and 120mm of rear travel, this 26.5 lb super-bike offers the perfect balance of efficiency and technical mastery. Professionally maintained with roughly 500 miles, it is in great shape and 100% ready for the podium.

Why We Love It

• Electronic Precision: The Shimano XTR Di2 groupset delivers nearly instantaneous, perfectly synchronized electronic shifting, while the integrated XTR power meter allows for laboratory-grade performance tracking on every climb.

• Evolution of Speed: The "EVO" designation means more travel and more capability. With 130mm of front travel and a slacker geometry than the standard Epic, this bike is designed to charge through technical rock gardens that would stall a traditional XC bike.

• Roval Control SL Carbon Wheels: These are among the lightest and toughest wheels on the market, featuring a wide internal rim profile that enhances tire volume and traction while providing the lateral stiffness needed for surgical steering precision.

• FOX Transfer NEO Technology: This build features the ultra-fast NEO wireless dropper post, offering a clutter-free cockpit and the fastest actuation speed in the industry, allowing for seamless transitions between climbing and descending.
