Forks and shocks should always make you faster—never slow you down with energy-sucking suspension bob. That’s why we created Brain—ingenious technology that keeps your fork and shock firm when the trail is smooth, then automatically turns your bike plush the moment your tires meet rocks and roots. This is suspension made smart. It’s also suspension that’s propelled generations of racers to Olympic, World Championship and World Cup racing glory.

The Brain is a clever inertia-valve that knows the difference between you hammering the pedals and the trail hammering you.

Stand up and sprint: your Brain-equipped suspension stays firm, transferring every ounce of effort into speed. Start hitting roots and rocks, and the Brain inertia valve reacts to the terrain forces by opening up, allowing oil to flow and freeing your suspension to soak up the hits…giving you more control and, yup, more speed.

Brain technology helps us create the most efficient pedaling full-suspension and hardtail bikes possible. On that score, it’s unrivaled. Evolution, however, never takes a coffee break. Riders want both a firm platform for sprints and a more supple feel. Our Position-Sensitive forks and Brain 2.0 rear shocks deliver both.
