Rockshock already license the Maxle to Magura who use it on their Wotan fork. I guess they could have just licensed it's use to Specialized.

The reason why the Future Shock product looks very Fox, is that Specialized Employed (poached) one of the senior engineers from Fox

Lyric?
I was meaning the sorta FR specific forks

Specalized have always done 'future shocks'

They are just an upgraded version of whatever they are running for the year. I had Future Shcoks on my FSR in the early 90's, they were a Mag 21 with tricked out internals (the same internals that shipped in the standard Mag 21 the next year)

"Back In the Day", yes they were a factory fork with a few tweaks, the current generation are different from any manufacturers forks, sure there is a resemblance to Fox, but they are not a "tweaked" Fox fork

No offence but I doubt they build there own forks from the ground up, the R&D expense alone would feed an african nation. Much easier/cheaper/saner to build somene else's under lisence (or buy in the finished item) and tweak their design to what you want
