I accidentally came across a copy of the new Specialized Epic World Cup frame.

how can it work without the original and likely patented rear suspension?

I don’t know for sure, but as far as I can understand, the Chinese will make their own shock absorber for this frame

The schock can be bought separatly via a RS resaller

this is good, but the frame is still heavy and the shock absorber is without sag and locking... but if there are anyone willing to try this frame, I’ll read their experience with interest :)

I've been looking at this myself. The seller I contacted only said that it came with the rear shock, but the ones in the picture look exactly like the original without stickers. The seller, Antony Bicycle Frame Store, seemed a bit more expensive that others who were selling it, but so far no-one has given feed back.

for me, it is a simple shock in exactly size of wcid wihtut the functions... the wcid is the soul of spz wc .... the ordinary shock will transforms this frame in wooble bike

Upon closer inspection, and watching Specialized's video, it's not the same shock. Of course, it could be very good.
Much of what makes the WC so special is the custom suspension and it's tune ability. Of course, you pay a lot for it.

So who has one of these? Is there a better, more active page for this model? I'm really curious to see how these are in the real world.

There are reviews on the seller’s website, but I’m not sure how informative they are

Does anyone try this frame yet?
I am concerned about the rear shock performance.
