The Epic 8 EVO takes the speed and efficiency of the Epic 8 and turns the dial to maximum fun, delivering the fastest, most capable downcountry performance available. Its progressive geometry, ultra-rigid chassis, and increased 130mm front travel make it razor-sharp on technical terrain while still climbing with unbelievable efficiency. With Ride Dynamics–tuned suspension, it smooths out rough trails so you stay fresher, faster, and ready for more laps.
Engineered for riders who live for high-speed singletrack and the thrill of pushing limits, the Epic 8 EVO combines lightweight construction with advanced kinematics to reduce pedal bob by 20% and boost bump absorption by 12%. Add SWAT 4.0 storage, trail-ready components, and precise handling, and you get a bike that’s built to rip every trail in sight.
