Srecialized owns the patent on the FSR design. All the bike makers building frames with the true FSR suspension design, ALL pay Specialized to to use it. There are a LOT of copanies that do this. They all may tweek it a little here or there, but it's basically the same. This IS an FSR design and NORCO has an agreement ($$) with Specialized to use it on maney of their full sus bikes. There is no "stealing" going on here. Specialized can sue any bike maker who uses their FSR design without their permi$$ion, and has done so in the past. NORCO and everyone else knows this and play by the rule$.

 true that and a good design it is, the demo is way too spenzy for me, maybe hittin this frame up when it coems out, hopin it pedals good...

 beautiful craftsmanship

 soooooo nice !!!!!!

 Interesting to see both ISCG standards

 cooks right

 they steal all their suspension designs from Specialized...Better just to go buy a Specialized
