ive been looking for a new XC frame and have taken a liking to the Specialized epic with the brain fade shock. i checked mtbr.com but i cant find any decent reviews for it.
what can you tell me about it? does it have a lockout? how does it "self adjust"?
i would appreciate any specs or comments you could give me regarding this shock and frame, or let me know if you think there is something better.
just fyi, im looking for a light, XC dual suspension frame with an air shock, at least 4" of travel, and priced less than $600. ill be buying on ebay.

The way it works, it has an inertia valve chamber. What this makes is that when it receives some momentum from the top of the bike, it locks up, but when a hit comes from the bottom, it opens the valve and activates the suspension. You don't have to set up much, I think that only a threshold (how hard or soft a hit to release the valves).
I think it's a good bike for XC, but if you want to do more all around riding probably look at the Stumpjumper FSR..
