Evolution of Speed
Powerful, Efficient, Lightweight
The new Epic 8 redefines speed and performance through sheer power, efficiency, and low weight. As modern XC courses become increasingly demanding, the Epic 8 rises to the occasion. Its improved kinematics make it the most efficient bike we’ve ever tested, while purpose-built, optimized suspension components soak up every bump in the trail. This is a wolf in wolf’s clothing—efficient, powerful, and incredibly light.
