Epic 8 EVO Comp
Downcountry just got rowdy.
The Epic 8 EVO Comp is built for riders who love speed but crave more confidence on technical descents. With 120mm of rear travel, a beefier 130mm fork up front, and a trail-tuned Ride Dynamics suspension, this bike turns every ride into an opportunity to go faster, further—and have more fun doing it.
Whether you're hammering out climbs or flying down singletrack, the Epic 8 EVO delivers unmatched efficiency, control, and trail capability in a sleek, lightweight package.
Why It Rips
💥 Built to Charge
With progressive XC geometry, a stiff chassis for razor-sharp handling, and a 130mm fork, this is the most capable 120mm bike we've ever made. Think of it as the Epic—supercharged.
🪶 Light, Fast, Efficient
Weighing in at just 28 lbs, the carbon frame features new kinematics that reduce pedal bob by 20%, so every watt goes where it should: forward.
🌪 Ride Dynamics Tuned
The custom-tuned FOX Float rear shock is calibrated by our in-house Ride Dynamics team to maximize grip, support, and bump absorption—delivering 12% more comfort on rough terrain over the previous model.
🧰 Fully Loaded
Every Epic 8 EVO comes with SWAT 4.0 in-frame storage, SRAM Code Stealth brakes, and a wide-range Eagle Transmission drivetrain for all-day trail dominance.
