It's on their FAQ section

I know Specialized has patented the "FSR Technology", but what does FSR stand for? I'm assuming the F & S stand for Full Suspension, but what about the R? I was in superGO today and asked a couple employees there, they didn't know. I've looked on the Specialized website and couldnl't find anything. I also looked in the big Specialized "bible" at superGO and didn't see an exact definition.

So, if anyone knows what the exact meaning of FSR is, please post.

Thanks.

How well did this answer your question?

If you have an Enduro FSR, then it probably stands for "Frequent Suspension Rebuild"...

At least that is my experience. The bushing kit is on order, should be in later this week.

 

Full Suspension Rig?

Forever Squeaky Riding? (Did a 26 mile epic with a guy on an FSR, it squeaked the whole way)

 

The "Specialized Future Shock" was Specialized's first suspension piece, offered back in the early 90's...maybe 92 or 93. A lot of development work went into that fork. You see, they placed an order with Rock Shox for a whole bunch of Mag 20's, and then painted them silver. Viola'- the Future Shock. I guess when they again purchased their rear suspension research from Horst Leitner/AMP, they decided to use a similarly creative approach for product development and naming.

yeah what happened to the rocket packs?
dammit! I demand that the sci-fi guys get me a damn rocket-pack, they can only promise for so long ya-know?
I also want a futuristic foil full-body suit with a built in sonic ray vulcan screech defense system and a hoover-car with big fins that drives itself!
(oh, and the hoover-car has to run on dilithium chips)

 

FSR really stands for...

Pay us $4 for every Horst link bike you produce or we will sue you silly.

 

I thought it stood for Full Suspension Race. Maybe not.

 

Frick'en Sucky Royalties?

Pay us $4 for every Horst link bike you produce or we will sue you silly.

I could see that on the competitor bikes.

And maybe Free Suspension Revenue? from the Specialized's.

Full Suspension Racer?

what did i win???

 

I don't think it's $4 per bike, otherwise everyone would be using them and the thing with Giant a couple of years back wouldn't have happened.

At manufacturer's cost, $4 is a lot for a high volume producer like Giant or Merida but not a big deal for the high end little guys like Titus or Turner.
