With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Specialized - Epic 8 EVO Expert - Carbon Mountain Bike in Glossy Lilac

Season:2025

Brand:Specialized

Code:90325-32

The fastest downcountry bike in the world. Epic 8 evo is the dressed up, cranked-to-11 expression of the new epic 8. Spec'd to slay downcountry terrain with its unmatched combo of capability, efficiency, and light weight, Epic 8 evos updated kinematics allow for insanely efficient climbingwhile the ride dynamics-tuned shock eats up rough terrain on the way down. If ripping single track at blazing fast speeds and high fiving your friends is your idea of fun, the epic 8 evo is the bike for you. Unmatched capability: the most capable 120mm bike on the planet, made even more capable.

You will be blown away by how epic 8 evos progressive geometry delivers technical terrain capability alongside fast and efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The absurd lateral and torsional rigidity of the chassis translates to some seriously precision handling, too. With a bump up to 130mm of travel up front to eat up the chunk and a slew of trail-friendly specs, epic 8 evo feels right at home on the rough stuff.

What bump?
Compared to the previous generation, the new epic 8 evo absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time. That opens the options for another lap (or 3).

Ride dynamics tuned: The Specialized ride dynamics team developed custom valving for epic 8 evos new shock. Our team prescribes the special damping characteristics to holistically elevate the riding experience. By tuning the dampers alongside the chassis leverage rates and new kinematics, were able to deliver a bike that rides above the sum of its parts.

Biomechanical efficiency: By optimizing the kinematics of the suspension, specializeds ride dynamics team reduced inefficient pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, maintaining active suspension for effective bump force management, to ensure you remain in the most efficient pedaling position. Its the most efficient pedaling suspension bike weve ever tested.

Fully loaded: All models now feature Swat 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials, and an integrated steering stop to prevent the ubiquitous top tube scar the first time you crash and your bars spin
