Specialized Epic and "THE BRAIN"

Who knows details about *drum roll please* "The Brain"!!! ???

It's expensive, that's all I know.

I do.
Maybe if you'd stop being such a crossposting troll and contribute
something meaningful to the group I'd even share my experiences.

The brain? isnt so complex Has a "thing" inside and when there is a
bump it opens the oil chamber up and you get open suspension.

There are 2 bikes with brains; epic and stumpjumper. One is race tuned
and one is trail.

Isn't the new brain tunable?

Add this, the Epic has something you lack. Look between the
parenthesis in subject title, if you can.

You didn't use yours in this post either - they're called "double quotes".

It's expensive, I've got one and it's anything but smart lol! My brain had
an aneurism and fox still can't fix it. This round it lasted a whole two
rides. Told Specialized I was just riding along it just stopped working : )
May work for some, but not me I guess.

Glad you said that, I just test rided one at Bicycle Village in Aurora
on Havana, and it seemed to work there as I assaulted the rock gardens
in that parking lot, even the ones that aren't navigable - and I went
right over them. Then I used a Trek Fuel and I couldn't clear the one
which the rocks are hard shaped like pyramids & sharped edged, but I
felt better on the Trek bicycle, it seemed to understand body
positioning and balance better than Specialized did. I didn't feel as
comfortable on the Specialized as I did on the Trek Fuel.

I don't think I'd buy a Epic Brain, as you've said it isn't sound
technology, and it's new lacking perfection. But that I could clear the
rock garden (and it's fiercely un-navigable) with the Brain, and not
with the Fuel, if this says anything.

A photograph of the Presidential Trek Fuel is shown at the link below.

Be like the President and ride without "The Brain".

Oops, I don't have one. I've got an Sworks Enduro Pro with the dead brain.
I have even less praise for the Epic. It's like riding a
hardtail....exactly like riding a hardtail lol! Unless you're xc racing
every weekend, get some travel man.
