Are XC bikes actually FUN?

[@massacredh]

i love too much this simple and objetive video for Epic 8, go for it !

[@geraldh.6686]

You look like if Luna from Off Road and Chill and Alexander, The Singletrack Sampler had a baby. That’s not a dig by the way.

[@r28a]

What's up with that SUV parking so close to you ( 11:29 ). It doesn't look like you can even open the drivers side doors.

[@tonygiancoli9626]

Yeah, that was a nasty park job.

[@HeatherMunive]

@@tonygiancoli9626 Awful parking hahah

[@HeatherMunive]

hahahah some people are just awful parkers.... It was a tight squeeze getting back in the car.

[@diegoholic]

@@HeatherMunivecan you just tell the truth and say it was in purpose? 😂 and I was going to move the car but you don’t have lots of patience 😂😂

[@cristianmonteriso2467]

Biutiful 😘

[@64chrisg]

Progression areas are awesome. Every park should have one :)

[@HeatherMunive]

I agree!!

[@mikestivers8302]

i just sold a Spot Ryve 115 travel XC/DC bike that i just didn't ride much. there are some trail bikes with kinematics designed to be efficient on the greens and burly crushers on the blacks. the Spot Mayhem is one of those rare bikes, and i got it on a good sale. so far, just one "dial it in" ride.. this new bike is so good, i might flip my propain hugene just to be not-redundant.

[@timbershadow1]

Nice edit! Love the never give up attitude! What's with the guy who parked next to you at the end!? He's like 6 inches away in an empty area of the lot. lol Anyway, bike looks rad but it is specialized so kinda expect that but glad you made this.

[@HeatherMunive]

Thank you!!! And I know some people just don't know how to park these days hahah

[@sneakyray9160]

I thought 🤔 you’re a LiV/Giant only gal.

[@vwsandvettes3253]

Is that bike the same thing as the Specialized Epic 8 Expert? If not what is the difference (including price)? thank you

[@NocSuKow]

great video i was actually wondering about the XC vs my SL Levo thanks! Need a Kamala sticker on that Subaru to complete the look.

[@HeatherMunive]

Thank you the bike was awesome !

[@mikestivers8302]

@@HeatherMunive my slogan was "we're not going back" way before kamala.. but i was talking about those gnarly trails i was under-prepared for. 😆

[@sal6199]

How did you like it , fast or faster little more stiff but doable. Than your regular mtb bike you usually ride. Let me know.

[@rogerd9405]

I take it you cut ties with Giant

[@karl0s67]

Sorry if I missed it but the one in the video is Epic 8 Expert or Pro?

[@JoseHernandez-vp6xc]

nice!!! haha i thought i saw you a couple of times there!!

[@farghom]

what is the best kenda tire for xc very loose dry trail?

[@killacam7015]

Like if you miss the fox brain->

[@pulganabike1648]

Amazing..

[@Eric.V.]

Did you buy or rent the bike?

[@arcadialive4265]

This bike is 10/10. I have last years S-Works Epic Evo. Added a remote lock out and I upgraded to the sram transmission. Pretty much perfect. Can handle decent jumps, and it climbs like nothing else I've ever had. The Flight Attendant upgrade is tempting.

[@JamieStenhouse]

I picked up my epic 8 last week, its amazing. I Chucked a Purgatory tyre / wheel set on the front for extra downhill work. Perfect

[@renejimenez2203]

Awesome

[@tartiflette3830]

This color are Amazing. No Luck for me, not available with the Comp. Next month i will buy this bike.

[@utoo2017]

Bien Chevere! Your skills make the jumps look easy. The bike helps a little. Try the Pivot Switchblade and give your opinion.

[@apolinargutierrezmtb]

Wow the Bike Looks amazing great design to handle any trails my concern is the price $$ how starting to ride I would Love to see you ride more of amazing Florida Trails 😃😘😘😘🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@john450]

HI, I tried to rent a bike from Mega Cycle when I was in Ft Lauderdale, and they don't rent. I was able to rent from the BikeBox right at the trailhead where you rode I showed up without a reservation and the guy still hooked me up. FYI. First time for me riding in Florida.

[@michaldmtb]

Awesome. Sweet ride Heather. 😊. I love my epic evo also. Btw. What made you move to FL from the west? Just curious 😁

[@United_By_Water]

If you can make a trip up to Central Florida (little southwest of Orlando), we got some pretty good trails I think you would enjoy Alafia and Carter Road. Go a little farther north of Orlando and you got Santos. ✌

[@RomeyRome413]

Do you always rent bikes when you travel? I'll be at Sedona in July not sure if to take my bike or rent one there.

[@RichardsWorld]

Hmmm.. I thought the Epic 8 moved up to 130 travel. The previous version which I have is only 120. The Epic 8 is 130 travel.

[@Evippe-l7b]

She is riding the Epic 8 Expert. Fork RockShox SID Select+, 120mm Travel. Recommended for you, thinking before typing😁

[@RichardsWorld]

@@Evippe-l7b Ahh... I've have only been seeing the S-Works reviews.

[@elgeffe503]

@@RichardsWorld the EVO has 130mm up front the S-Works are all 120mm as well

[@MrCae85]

Have you ever been to alafia mtb trails? They're the best in south florida

[@rchrdjms62]

I don't suppose you could tell us what a suggested retail price on this bike would be?

[@stevemurray2737]

Nice! Try Alafia and Balm Boyette up north!

[@kr38tve]

👊😎

[@josesbox9555]

Cool shades Heather Munvie! 🥸

[@chrisgreen417]

Beautiful trails and riding! At 7k that thing better be amazing.

[@jmdrstv]

I have a Spur for my small bike and they are similar. Super fun!

[@blotto3204]

Need to spin like crazy for those climbs

[@jtsimaras]

Miss your content.. Thanks

[@greggnunnelee7650]

Almost as expensive as Trek

[@ChatMTB]

Great choice... like you said, lots of options out there but for many reasons, I'm on my 5th Specialized. Currently a 2022 Specilaized Stumpjumper Evo Comp, fully after-market upgraded where necessary... amazing geometry on most of their frames.. great videos keep it up!!!

[@HeatherMunive]

That’s amazing. Specialized sure does make some good bike

[@ralva2779]

Great bike that flys and is super lite!

[@tomassanesson902]

Soo amazing beautiful bike❤❤❤

[@MTBSHOGUN]

Go down to Alefia in FL it's so fun

[@Scomelbasses]

I love the color of the bike.

[@martinvaladez2500]

Should've tried the S work one with flight attendant!

[@HeatherMunive]

They didn't have my size but maybe the next time I visit I can try that one out.. These bikes are all so amazing!

[@patrolmaverick]

How many bikes have you got now lol? Didn't you have a Levo and a Stump jumper too?

[@paulb5390]

She was sponsored by Specialized. Spesh had to cancel all their 'influencer' sponsorships recently because of the downturn in the industry.. Somewhat surprised to see her doing a Specialized video right now. Obviously there are no hard feelings between the two parties

[@patrolmaverick]

Oh yeah I do remember seeing something about specialized doing that for some of their other riders. I didn't realise that was Heather too

It’s not the bike , it’s the capable, skilled, agile, determined rider with an optimistic attitude to persevere to have fun. And, a fantastic smile with fabulous enthusiasm. Easy Peezy 😊

[@sal6199]

Bike does make a difference, try flying down hill jumps and all on a hard tail and than a downhill bike. Yea big difference.

[@Shawn-in-da-Canyon]

It’s not a park bike. It’s a XC bike. How about testing it for what it is?

[@MattBuck777]

Looked like some technical Xc trails with a few tiny jumps and drops. Definitely not a bike park.

[@JohnSmith-ed1sr]

You are seriously the most beautiful girl ever. You know how Travis Kelce had a crush on his dream girl Taylor swift? He took a chance and messaged her and look what happened! You are my Taylor Swift! I hope you have a great day
