FACT 11m Carbon Frame

The Epic 8 EVO Comp is constructed around a FACT 11m carbon frame, providing a lightweight and responsive foundation for demanding mountain-bike riding.

The carbon chassis combines efficient power transfer with modern full-suspension geometry, making the bike suitable for riders who want climbing efficiency without sacrificing capability on technical descents and rough trails.

Full-Suspension Performance

The Epic 8 EVO Comp combines 130 mm of front travel with 120 mm of rear travel.

This suspension configuration provides additional control across:

• Rocky trails
• Roots and uneven surfaces
• Technical singletrack
• Fast trail descents
• Gravel and dirt routes
• Cross-country terrain
• Steep climbs and descents

The full-suspension system allows both wheels to respond to changing trail surfaces, helping maintain traction and rider control.

130 mm Front Suspension

The 130 mm RockShox front suspension gives the EVO configuration additional front-end capability for technical trail riding.

The increased fork travel helps absorb impacts and maintain front-wheel control when travelling across rough and uneven terrain.

120 mm Rear Suspension

The frame provides 120 mm of rear-wheel travel, balancing trail capability with efficient pedalling performance.

Rear suspension helps the wheel track uneven terrain while reducing impacts transmitted through the bicycle and rider.

SRAM GX Eagle T-Type 12-Speed Drivetrain

The SRAM GX Eagle T-Type 12-speed drivetrain provides a wide gearing range for climbing, trail riding and faster sections.

The 1×12 drivetrain eliminates the need for a front derailleur while providing:

• 12 rear gears
• Wide-range gearing
• Simplified shifting
• Efficient climbing gears
• High gearing for faster trail sections
• Reduced front drivetrain complexity

Electronic Shifting

The GX Eagle T-Type system provides electronic gear shifting, delivering precise drivetrain control without a conventional mechanical derailleur cable.

This modern drivetrain arrangement provides clean cockpit integration and consistent shifting operation across the 12-speed gear range.

SRAM 4-Piston Hydraulic Disc Brakes

The Epic 8 EVO Comp uses SRAM Level Bronze Stealth 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes.

The four-piston calipers provide powerful braking performance suited to technical trails, steep terrain and changing riding conditions.

Hydraulic operation provides controlled brake modulation through the handlebar-mounted brake levers.

29-Inch Wheel Platform

The 29-inch wheel configuration provides efficient rolling performance across trails and uneven terrain.

Large-diameter wheels are particularly useful for maintaining momentum across:

• Rocks
• Roots
• Trail obstacles
• Gravel
• Dirt tracks
• Uneven countryside routes

Tubeless-Ready Wheels

The wheel system supports a tubeless-ready configuration, allowing compatible tubeless tyres, valves and sealant to be installed.

Tubeless MTB setups can provide lower operating pressures and improved trail traction while eliminating conventional inner tubes.

Dropper Seatpost

The included dropper seatpost allows the saddle height to be adjusted during a ride.

A higher saddle position supports efficient pedalling and climbing, while lowering the saddle provides additional rider clearance for descents and technical trail sections.

Trail-Focused EVO Design

The EVO configuration provides a more trail-focused setup with increased front suspension travel and components selected for capable off-road riding.

It is designed for riders who want a mountain bike that combines cross-country efficiency with additional capability for technical trails.

• Cross-country mountain biking
• Technical trail riding
• Singletrack
• Trail climbing
