Epic 2011 rear shox 187mm * 47mm for 100mm travel
Camber 2011 rear shox 200mm * 50mm for 120mm travel

If I wish to transform my Epic it Camber, I can install a Fox RP23 190.5mm * 50.8mm
So the theoretical travel would be 109mm

I give approximately 150grs for the frame + shox and I give 9mm for travel. --> Sworks Camber 110mm for 2100grs (frame + shox) size L.

-> Who has already tried such a transformation ?

I don't think they do, but would be sweet if they did. That and an EVO version @ 130mm w/ an RP23, a 36T big ring, and Rovals and the rest of the Pro components spec. I think the EVO would be just about my ideal bike

I think OP is maybe just asking about the possibility of trading the Brain shock for an RP23 on an SWorks Epic, Amirite?

Replacing the Brain shock with a Fox RP23 works on a 2009- 2010 Epic so should work on the 2011 Epic as well if you use the right length rear shock.

Effectively I study the possibility of replacing the brain by Fox.
I already have to realize this manipulation on a SWorks FSR from 2007 to 2009 further to the breakage of the brain. The behavior of the bike was good always also with a lesser weight.

I'd buy a camber evo as well, kinda setting mine up that way, would love to get the carbon rovals, but can't swing them now, will prolly go with a set of stans. The 520's on my bike are very pingy, are all 29" rims like that? I guess its more of an issues with the spokes.... This is my first 29er....

I ride with Notubes rims (mmx - crest) and Tune hubs (king-kong).
Weight 26" front Qr 15mm and rear 142*12, total weight = 1270grs
