The new Specialized Epic 8 is one of the most important releases from the brand in recent years, and just a few days after its launch, the Specialized Factory Racing surprises us with a radical change of colors to welcome their new main mountain bike.

The Specialized Factory Racing changes color and introduces the new Epic 8

The powerful Specialized Factory Racing has just surprised with a radical aesthetic change. Gone are the red tones it has always been identified with, and in come much brighter and luminous colors, like the electric cyan blue of the frame of the new Epic 8 and the fluorescent pink of the new RockShox SID ULTIMATE FLIGHT ATTENDANT fork.

It remains to be seen whether these are the official colors with which the team will compete for the rest of the 2024 season or if it is just a temporary campaign as part of the presentation of the new Epic 8. What is certain is that this will be the main setup used by the FRT members throughout this year
