some of specialized early front suspension bikes had a "future shock" label on them, so "future shock rear" sounds good to me....tom

I found on the Specialized web site that it means Future Shock Rear. Now what that means I have no idea. Maybe it refers to the design of the rear suspension?
A few of the sections have FAQ's, it took me awhile to find it.
