Specialized Epic 8
XC racers. Downcountry riders may prefer Epic 8 EVO.
The current Epic XC platform without the old Brain shock. Slack enough to be a modern XC race bike, still a sprint machine rather than a trail bike.

Newer trail riders and anyone who wants travel without a slack, low race posture.
The calmer trail sibling: more upright, more composed, less pop than the Spectral. Canyon's all-day trail-center bike.
