It trades in its predecessor’s Avid brakes for a Juicy 3 SL full hydraulic system with backed brake pads, a superior brake lever, and a 185mm rotor. Like its peer, the Comp utilizes a Specialized-exclusive X-Fusion rear shock outfitted with adjustable rebound and lockout controls for a more fine-tuned performance, as well as a RockShox Tora fork designed for a full 120mm of travel and tenability. All together, the new 2010 FSRxc Comp is better prepared for the rigorous beating of serious riding.
