The most sought-after Specialized Epic 8 is now for sale

The Specialized Factory Racing team has had a stellar 2024 full of victories and great results in the XCO World Cup, Olympics, and World Championships. And they did it alongside a new Specialized Epic 8 that has become an object of desire for its unique aesthetics. The same one that the brand is now putting up for sale.

New Specialized Epic 8 Pro with the colors of Specialized Factory Racing

The classic red color of Specialized was set aside this season to welcome the new Epic 8 with a much more striking and racing color combination. An aesthetic that the Specialized Factory Racing team has been sporting all year and with which they have climbed onto podiums around the world.

Now, Specialized includes this color option in the catalog of its renewed Epic 8, probably the mountain bike of the year for a large part of the fans.

The new Epic 8 was introduced a few months ago as a turning point in the evolution of the model. This version breaks with continuity and comes with a new frame, geometry, and kinematics, 120mm of travel without the BRAIN system, SWAT compartment, and the new RockShox Flight Attendant electronic suspensions in some of its setups.

The Epic 8 Pro model is the one that Specialized now offers with the color combination of Specialized Factory Racing (Gloss Lagoon Blue/Liquid Metal/Yellow). And it is the best equipped in the range without the Rock Shox Fligth Attendant system. Its weight is below 11kg and it is an XC ready to compete in any World Cup event.
