Specialized Epic 8 Expert (Satin Bordeaux Metallic/White) (XS) (Shimano XT Di2)

Specialized Epic 8 Expert Description:

The Specialized Epic 8 Expert builds on a legacy of cross-country greatness with breakthroughs that increase capability, efficiency, and lightweight integration. XC mountain bike courses have evolved to newer heights with technical details that require more daring and skill from every rider, so Specialized’s internal R+D team, Ride Dynamics, worked to custom tune the performance of the equipped RockShox SIDLuxe Select+ shock and SID Select+ fork, resulting in shocks that wring out every bit of potential from the Epic 8’s suspension design. Shimano Deore XT Di2 wireless electronic drivetrain operates consistently in all situations, including under load, for shifting that can answer the demands of fast-paced technical climbs on tricky race courses or your favorite training grounds. Shimano Deore XT 2-piston hydraulic disc brakes are easy to maintain and deliver confidence inspiring speed control and stopping over any terrain and in any weather. Rounding out the complete bike are carbon fiber tubeless ready Roval wheels, grippy Specialized Fast Trak and Air Trak tires, and an assortment of Specialized cockpit components, and when everything is combined, the result is a light and comfortable mountain bike that is ready to give any rider a great time on the trails.
