Its best the design in full suspension That I have seen or Rode It has a It has Smart brain by the rear swing arm on the left side It will work when you hit a bump not when you are pedaling it Most bounce alittle when you pedal hard this 1 Doesnt Its a Expert race quality Bike and about 23-24 lbs Disc brakes Rode it Yesterday dialed in the suspension the compression + rebound + the smart Brain ( thats what it is Called The Smart Brain The dumb 1s must of been on the early years )3 inches of suspension travel front + back I hit 1 tree A little sore 1st time in about 3 years on a Mt Bike  I had a deal I could not pass up New on the display floor A $1000 off from retail price It still wasnt cheap |

What happens if you hit a bump while pedaling? JW I works perfect Its a Smart brain LOL Scott It is a very sweet set up I was hitting 2 foot drops never even felt the hit I Got it dialed perfect rebound + compression with a turn of a knob The air pressure is another ADJ I can make Fox Air Shocks The best in the business In my opinion I motocrossed them in the 80s There were awesome then Even better now I have no complaints about the bike The Motor needs more HP That will come in time |

Where did you get it? I have been thinking of getting back into MT biking myself. Specialized makes some of the best bikes out there, you'll pay alot for them but they are worth it. |

Steve + Carmen Pms sent
Jon to explain the rear shock when I stomp on the pedals the rear squats like a vehicle under hard throttle This bike does not squat It feel like a Mt bike with out a shock The top of the shock wont go down in the rear It does work like a normal air shock the bottom will go up Ground travel goes up squating under power goes down

I never rode a bike as smooth as this I had 2 full suspensions the didnt come close a GT and a FSR Specialized in 2000
This Epic out classes most of them the design is the Best I have rode I rode 5 others before this The big thing was the price it was a step above all the others I rode But the lower price Specialized shocks were the same

I was just teasing, since you made a point of saying it wouldn't allow the rear to compress if you hit a bump.  JW |
