California-based Specialized Bikes is angling to reimagine the sport of cross-country cycling with efficient, extremely lightweight bikes designed to handle a wide spectrum of terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When climbing a mountain or going downhill, the key to optimal control is less weight \u2013 albeit without skimping on sturdiness and efficiency. With its new line of bikes, dubbed the Epic 8, Specialized has a variety of bikes for each rider\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those looking to invest in a top-tier mountain bike, the $14,500 USD S-Works Epic 8 is a 22 lb that packs in active suspension without the typical added weight via Specialized\u2019s RockShox Flight Attendant system. It also offers a subtle and convenient means of in-frame storage in the form of a subtle hole in the downtube and it\u2019s the only bike composed of the sleek but practical FACT 12m carbon frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another standout in the lineup is the 24 lb Epic 8 Expert. While comparatively cheaper at $7,000 USD, the model packs similar capabilities to the S-Works with 12% greater absorbency for bumps and vibrations, ideal for bumpy mountainous roads. Specialized says it\u2019s also cut down on \u201cpedal bob\u201d by 20%, helping riders to conserve energy on lengthier runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of Specialized\u2019s Epic 8 bikes also feature steering stops to minimize damage in the event of a fall. Rounding out the new line are the Epic 8 Pro, as well as EVO versions of the Epic 8 Pro and Comp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
