LazyTrailRider Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) So what's supposed to be so special about the upside down fork?? A few things: 1) Less un-sprung weight makes for less inertia to overcome and thus increased sensitivity, and 2) Gravity helps the fork seals stay constantly lubricated thus reducing stiction, and 3) Less overall weight due to the crown-less design (but with the fancy hub being needed, of course), and 4) Supposedly, more stiffness (also reliant on the fancy hub)... All in all, the primary benefits are largely improved sensitivity and better tracking. Edited July 24, 2014 by Martin Hattingh GrantRH, Jocklaw, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and 1 other 4
GrantRH Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Nice of them to chuck the hub in... for 24k. On another note. The 2015 s-work epic colours and decals are identical to my 2014 Elite. Only difference is that mine says Specialized and the other says s-works. That worked out nicely.

Ham Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Camber Evo, so its more agressive than the normal camber, also 120mm travel front and rear, instead of 110 on the normal one. Now here is the thing, I wanted a Stumpy fsr, but as soon as you go to the expert models and up, its comes with brain suspension. Now, as good as the brain is on the Epic, I dont want it on my trail bike. The Camber Evo is very different from the normal camber, just have a look at the tyres it comes with, that should give you a clue. This is no xc machine, its a proper trail bike. Enduro is fun downhill, my legs however dont want to pedal it up anything. I went for the stumpy fsr with the brain and love it. It rides smooth as can be with 130mm sus travel. Enjoy the new bike man. Hope it rocks for you. Johny Bravo 1
