so just putting together random pieces on the internet the idea is that the rear end will pretty much sit at top out making the "effective travel" the same as a 100mm rear end and that will be paired with the brain up front. I'm interested to figure out how they execute this with and maintain any sensitivity.

Ooooh, like a Giant NRS? I actually really loved that bike

Geometry tweaks and 0% sag shock are great changes in my book. Plus I'm a sucker for the clean look. Sadly just not loaded

woah the rear shock is pretty crazy. I liked Will from flow MTB's explanation. I still think it would be hard to know if you'll like the bike until you ride the bike with all 3 rear shock "gulp" settings.

That Flow article is a great round up of the key details as always. I really like the concept but wish it was a replacement for the regular Epic and hence available at more price points. Maybe that will happen with time

Anyone knows, does it take mechanical shifting?
