Specialized Epic 8 EVO Pro // バイクレビュー



Specialized Epic 8 EVO Pro // バイクレビュー

During the deepest part of the Northwest Winter, I found myself aboard the new Specialized Epic 8 EVO Pro, a short travel speed demon. Coming back from a nasty broken elbow, the Epic EVO and I seem to be sharing new titanium hardware. With 130mm of travel up front and 120 at the rear, the new EVO is categorized for downcountry riding, blending the efficiency of its cross country sibling with the grit to tackle exciting trails.

    Awesome riding+tallking…as always! One of the best doing that trick…😄 Quick recovery and good luck 🤞🏼 for your own channel…I’m already a subscriber!

    Curious how the Evo compares to the Tallboy 5. The latter is my front runner for a new bike, I ride mostly Tiger Mountain and Raging River down in Seattle, and the TB impressed me when I demoed it (albeit on mellower trails in Bend). The parts spec on on the Evo is compelling, but I’m thinking the geo and kinematics of the TB are better suited to PNW trails.

    Hi, great video, could you tell me please how tall are you? I am 5'10, inseam 32.5-33" and in between M and L. I can see you've tested size Large, thank you.

    Great review as always!
    This type of bike is my personal fav for when you ride under-biked. Fast uphill, capable on the way down. Just the right amount of everything you'd want from a trail bike 👌

    Love these types of reviews. Waiting to see the expert spec and new stumpy before I pull the trigger but I think epic evo is where I’m going.

    Have you take it on rougher rockier terrain? I would like to know what kind of hits it can take. In Texas we are riding limestone and caliche rocks all day and I prefer XC bikes, but they struggle on Texas trails. A Stumpjumper is the perfect trail bike and the Stumpjumper EVO is the perfect Enduro bike for Texas (Racing its faster than the Specialized Enduro here), but I was hoping the Epic EVO would be able to ride XC trails well and double as a trail bike here. My Epic Comp is not up to trail riding here on the common trails.

    Just wondering if you know the settings you used on the rear shock of the bike. I am about the same height and weight as you riding a large and can’t seem to find the settings that give it a Plush feel up top.

    That bike is so gorgeous dude, I have the expert xc version and toy with the idea of throwing a 130 fork on it all the time lol. The bike is a ROCKET with a 120 fork build I will say though. I did a more XC build on my Stumpjumper 140/130 27.8lbs and it has blurred the line for me personally of what you need vs what bikes can actually do these days. We live in amazing times for MTB's.

    I didn’t even watch this because the caption image has the seat jammed forward all the way. Why do we praise suspension design when the frame doesn’t even account for the human form. 😂
