It's still there in the showroom i come past the showroom everyday
I believe you buddy, I was just giving Kevin a hard time.
That bike could fart a sausage.
Allready went and checked it out yo, too expensive for my budget unfortunately...
Dang!
Was it the NRS that was intended to be ran with 0 sag?
yep
since it was designed by roadies who were skrd of suspension they layed it out so that any pedaling force just kept it topped out. Because bumps only need to compress suspension right?
That 12ft horst link was how they did it. I can't remember any other dumbass design that did that, not intentionally at least
An Ochain would liven that right up.yep

Fair enough, I totally forgot how far away the rear chainstay pivot was from the rear axle. Maybe more like an early Rocky Element?
As far as design goals, both Giant and Specialized Brain were shooting for zero sag, ‘break the threshold’ type ‘efficient’ suspension. I don’t remember which came first, but they were equally bad.

And no the brain shit wasn't designed to be run with zero sag, just have enough of a pEdAlINg pLaTfOrM that it also pedaledlikeahardtail™
the epic frames weren't any different than the nonbrain stumpjumper xc frames that came without the brain

The NRS was model year 2000, I was actually part of a group that tested different linkage points in the rocker arms in ‘99 and ‘00. I did contract work with the Giant race team at the time. I know a good bit about them, but I forget more.
I personally lost interest when the AC came out, which had changeable travel and progressiveness.
Looks like Brain came out in ’02.
