Traditionally, hardtail mountain bikes are regarded as the most efficient for transferring the maximum amount of power from the rider’s legs to the rear wheel. Most rear suspension designs suffer from bobbing under power, which wastes precious energy in the up-and-down motion of the rear of the bike. Specialized remedied that problem several years ago with the Brain rear suspension system, which resists compression under pedaling power, but opens up for a comfortable ride when the impact is being transferred to the shock upward through the rear wheel. The full suspension Epic XC bike became the first full-suspension mountain bike to win a World Cup event and a World Championship— no doubt thanks to the innovative rear suspension technology.

Kick Start

Yamalube/Star Racing/Yamaha’s Cooper Webb is one of the grittiest riders in the sport, and there’s never any doubt about the effort and aggression he puts forth on the racetrack. In his last year on a 250, Webb left nothing on the table and went out with a bang winning everything that there is to win in the class. We chatted with The Scrapper just before he headed to Italy to captain the United States Motocross of Nations team.
