Specialized says

With a XC World Championship to its name and complete bike weights as low as 21.5 pounds, the EpicAr is the lightest, most efficient and fastest performance cross-country bike available. An integrated approach to the design of all its critical components, along with an enhanced AFR inertia rear shock and Specialized/FOX Shox Mini BrainAr damper, will no doubt make a full suspension convert out of any competition- hungry rider.
