What Makes a Brain?

Pedaling force? Bump force? Brain knows the difference. Smoother rides await.

The Brain manages your suspension and lets you focus on hammering to the top of the podium. Brain suspension adjusts between firm and plush faster than human reaction, without you needing to flip any levers, assuring the suspension is always in the appropriate setting for any given terrain. And because this is automatic, you stay in the zone, focusing solely on riding your line and putting power to the pedals.

pretty sweet video! I think the fork is the biggest brain improvement for the new bike. The rear end in soft is super plush!

I get that the system can distinguish pedal induced bob and actual shock from the ground. My big question is, how fast is its reaction time?

[pumasuede]

Love the animation. Actual product, hmm, gimme a moment.

Now i just need to save 5 of my parents' salaries to buy it!

Wow good to know about Brain Suspension.. n how it works..👍👍

[mochno]

The only problem is - service. In my country it is very difficult to get this repaired and even to service. 125hours is super short I do 10h rides a weekend. That means every 2 months i should be sending bike for month away for service :(

Después de haber comprado la epic 2018 nunca más compro una Specialized no robaron el dinero, nunca funcionó bien el brain de la suspensión trasera y nunca nos dieron una solución!!

the brain is like a musket, Fox Live Valve is like a AR15.

I've been waiting to get a specialized bike here in Canada / Toronto for months. no stock. what is going on specialized ?

It would be nice to have the same technology on the trail and enduro bikes.

Hai, you have a rear shock epic evo 2020

[fishingjacob]

Not for the average consumer! These are expensive to maintain and when you send it back to Specialized for service there is a very good chance it will not work when you get it back! Unless you are racing at a high level not worth it the epic was the worst specialized bike I have owned!

unrelated question; got myself a turbo levo SL carbon comp, it`s great, on the mission control average assist says 105 % how so? peace

The last mini Brain never work!!! I don’t believe in this technology never more... I lose lot of money buying an Epic...

[paradox]

If it's like everyone I know who has one it will break every 6 months, and you can't send it in to rockshox you have to send it to specialized. Everyone I know how has one also has a backup shock they run most of the time cause the brain in unreliable.

Is the brain mechanical or electronic?

[Fluterra]

It’s good, but the digital one will be 10x better.
