Origin
The Epic EVO is the trail-leaning sibling of the pure-race Epic, occupying the down-country category that Specialized helped define. The Epic 8 EVO launched alongside the Epic 8 in early 2024 with 120mm rear travel paired to a 130mm Fox 34 fork, slacker head angle, grippier tyres, more powerful brakes and SWAT in-frame storage — none of which the regular Epic 8 has. With the Stumpjumper EVO absorbed into the new Stumpjumper 15, the Epic EVO now firmly owns the gap between race XC and 145mm trail, designed for riders who want a sub-12kg bike that climbs like a goat but descends harder than the spec sheet suggests.
