Oh good, I'm glad thats not just me. i can't wait to ride mine as soon as I get off work today.OGRipper said:It makes me funny in the pants just thinking about it. :heart: :heart: :heart:

OGRipper said:Does anyone know anything about the shock rate curve on the Uzzi? Won't the the shock mounting on the top tube v. the down tube mount on the vp-free give a different curve? The free has a falling initial rate to give a boost on jumps (rising rebound). I'm not too good at determining rate from looking at a bike but does the uzzi have more of a flat to rising rate? Wouldn't that make it arguably better in the high speed rough stuff but harder to get off the ground, closer to a race bike? So preference should depend on what you plan to use it for...any thoughts?
So, overall, they are pretty sick!habitatxskate said:i have seen a few vp frees they seem sick, my buddy has a uzzi, they are sick and he told me they have sick peddeling effiency depends if you are going for flat/freerdide or dh, if you do freeride get an uzzi if you go dh and freeride go vp

what does the vertical side of those graphs represent?vpsaline said:
Dont forget the Uzzi VPX uses a 8.5 x 2.5 shock, and the VP-Free uses a 8.75 x 2.75 shock.
Falling compression = rising rebound. Once you recognize that and learn to work it, you get a sweet boost off jumps. Pumping off transitions is way easier on a free than say, on a V10, and it's not just because of a little less travel. If you don't get it, you might think your bike kicks too much and run too much rebound.erikkellison said:One question: I'm not sure how the falling rate leverage ratio is supposed to help with jumps, anyone care to explain?
