Thanks both of you! I was aware that other 165 shocks are all the same. I just wasn't sure if the proprietary nude changed something that effected that or what size the spacers were. Thanks for all the info!

I think I will go down the same route as you ilyamaksimov. I too would like a little more sensitivity at the beginning. I'm also intrigued by the reduced travel traction mode.

Hi, I have bought a fm936 size L, normal lay up and feel like there is a lack of stiffness in the front triangle : it wiggles significantly more than my other bikes when pushing left right with the bar. I have not read any complain about this anywhere. I have changed the fork for a 35 mm, but still have a strange feeling in the turns that came from this lowish stiffness I think. I have a on one scandal definitively stiffer.

Am I the only one feeling this ? I start thinking that my frame has an issue.

These are 21oz Camelbak Podiums, I'll have to try some longer bottles

Not bad at all if you want a 100/100 XC bike. It's a regular epic frame. I wanted more travel.....I wanted the epic evo.

either way i think i’m getting it.

Was able to build it today. Bushing provided did not suit for my rockshox shock. So I have to trim down my existing DU 20 bushings.. A lot of work with rasp and some with ange grinder. And it was ready to go.


Done 1hr ride today. No creaks, sounds, ets. Very quiet ride and bike is very responsive. I like it.
