Specialized S-Works Epic 8 Build

When they’re comparing all the stats online are they comparing to the old Epic Evo since it’s the same travel? Confusing when everyone is saying “old bike”

Danggg those look so swag

I am really digging the content on this channel. Keep it up and thank you for keeping it clean so I can watch in front of my kids.

S(andwich)-WORKS

Frame me the F up

What pedals are on that New Epic?

Asked my dealer to order a frame 2 weeks ago. Got the info today that frames are not available until summer... Might have to sell some stuff an order the full bike, if its not out of stock yet :( It seems absolutely insane, and I need one.

Soon:dropbar edition😉

Happy for you, such a nice bike!

Beautiful bike! More videos👍

$14,000?!
Hell no! It’s a bike. As in bicycle. Not a motorcycle. Not a car. A bicycle!
This is a ripoff! This is what’s wrong with cycling. Get out of here Specialized!

Hope rockshox get you guys the aftermarket FA stuff soon! I need that for my Blur TR but like always already available i. europe and not the US

and you still manage to ruin a good video by moron editing.

Crazy you can buy a 750cc adventure motorcycle for cheaper than this mountain bike

What bottom bracket change did you make?

Did you notice the new frame is 460g more than the 2021-23 evo frame (medium per specialized site tech specs)? Did not expect a 26% increase. Yes you get 10mm more rear suspension but thats a big increase still for a race bike.

Would be awesome if you could weigh the new frame to confirm.

You don’t have to beep out nut sack

As a gravel bike with light single track use, you still think Epic WC is better than Epic 8? Or might as well buy Epic 8 and be more capable/comfortable in the mountains?

Do ya'll ship to Canada ?

How do you think the epic 8 compares to the BC40?

15k for a mtb is just crazy even if it was a emtb it doesnt justify the cost

Hi, what stem length did you installed, please? Could you tell me how tall you are? I am in between M and L and not sure if I should go with Medium + longer stem or size Large. Many thanks

How does this bike compare to the Allied Bc40? How about in terms of efficiency and race feel? The geo is very similar

What size is this sworks epic 8 you weighed?

I was happy spending 10k ish USD on the vintage volvo blue 2019 cannondale FSI, weight weenieing it down to 7.6kg, and 9k on the 2019 S works epic full sus.

15k is taking the piss. Done with getting top speced new bikes. Managed to get a Scalpel Hi mod 1 22' on sale for about 5k.

Hey Jesse, are you using a medium as well for this year? Do you think sizing is consistent with prior epics? I’m still trying to decide that S or M at 5’7 and things seem quite looooong now. Thanks!!

Hey Jesse, are the swat bag, tyrewiz and garmin holder delivered with the bike?

Have you got some good time between testing the the two head angles, low and high? If racing and riding things like marathon would you keep the head angle at 65.9? Seems advantageous to keep it at that angle? Thanks!!

You guys are super entertaining 😂 great content 👌

Overpriced yet again

Para estos huevones es un sencillo

Hmm that S-Works frame might have to go on my Christmas list. Have the Evo 7 and was going to get the 3P suspension.. seems like a nice excuse to just upgrade.

Very sad they only accept AXS droppers though… I love my Transfer SL and really don’t want to add nearly 300g and an extra £500 to get an AXS dropper 😞

weird question, but did it come with the quadruple battery charger (like the mach 4 sl FA does) or just with the two old single axs chargers?

Thank goodness the brain is dead. I have had 6 Specialized bikes. I will never purchase another one. My 2013 Epic Marathon cost pretty much half of your S-works which was still expensive. I have had the brains serviced two times. Specialized won't service either of the brains on my bike and hasn't for years. That is not acceptable. I have 1,536 miles on this bike which equates to $4.68 per mile not including the brain service costs. The best feature on this bike is also the worst feature. If anyone knows of a company that will service brain forks and shocks, please reply.

I have a new Levo sl will I still enjoy this bike?

would you rather this or the levo sl ltd with flight att

The dentist xc bike

Please make a video with the Epic 8 Evo!! 🙏🙏

You think headset cable routing is a plus on a mtb? I think it’s horrendous. But that color is sick AF

I'm alredy testing the new 2025 Stumpjumper in Switzerland😛. Oh and I had a Nintendo 64 with Golden Eye too for X-Mas 😁

Cheers

you ride M how tall are you in cm?

When do you make a review with FA?

Bike looks soo coool! But bro!!! The prices are

Crazy bike. If you really dig in, you start to understand why this bike costs as much as a down payment on a $350k house.

these bottle cages on such a frame made my eyes bleeding hard :(((((((

Great Upsale btw, for $14.5k” there’s nothing on this bike I would change!” Then there goes uni-piece handlebar, so so bottom bracket and e-gear’s software update issues? I can’t make theses sh.t up

Keeping the MTB platform, would the Epic 8 be a better option for gravel riding like what you mentioned in the video?

Didn't see it in the comments, so if anyone was wondering if you can build S-Works with mechanical and also with remote lockout. Yes, you can! There are plenty of holes in the headset , and cable routing is perfect. Only bummer is the crappy location of the pinch bolt for the cable on the rear shock. You have to drop the shock to adjust and tighten.

How does it compare to the Anthem?
