Johny Bravo Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 This seems to be the bike of bikes for 2016. Brain haters are gonna hate, go buy your Anthems etc etc. For me, the Camber is now a SERIOUS threat to the well loved Spez Epic. http://www.bikerumor.com/2015/07/05/destination-trail-specialized-introduces-all-new-camber-with-a-brain/

T-Bob Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Interesting idea but it seems a pretty lukewarm review. After reading it I wasn't exactly pumped up about it.

My problem is, most Camber buyers avoid the Epic because of the brain. I dont quite know what the thinking is behind this. The Brain is very very efficient, imho, but not everyone likes it. I suppose this means the Spez Epic is due for major changes next year.

Where's my effin' THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ALREADY!!!!!!!!!

I suppose this means the Spez Epic is due for major changes next year.Because the brain is just not as sensitive over the small bumps. It's very efficient, but at the cost of small bump sensitivity. I reckon this will be my bike of choice as well if I had to pick a One Bike out of the spez range, but the new stumpy will be right on its heels, even for longer days on the bike.
LazyTrailRider Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 thirteen thousand dollars!!!!!http://flowmountainbike.com/post-all/specialized-unveil-new-camber-in-two-wheel-sizes/ Just to be clear, that's thirteen thousand *Aussie* dollars. It's USD9800, so similar to most of the current S-Works models.
