Inside Tech
Our new FlowControl Brain allows the Epic's AFR rear shock to instantaneously transition between firm and fully active settings, enhancing both efficiency and control. For race situations or just high-performance riding, the Epic's Brain can be dialed to a hardtail firm setting, guaranteeing maximum efficiency on both rough and smooth terrain.
