I agree with you 100%. I ride an M6 and I just want more choices of Shocks to fit my frame.Yeah because horrifically overdamped rearends are just what DH bikes need, and who needs the right spring rate anyway?
Seriously, this is a moronic trend - current day shocks had enough trouble having low enough damping for bikes like the sunday (8" out of 3" shock), how do you think a 3.5" stroke shock is going to fare in a bike with the same travel?
What about springrate choice for the majority of fast guys that will rides these things? (nb: most fast guys aren't fat). What about the lack of intermediate spring rates, and the issues caused by claimed rate inaccuracies at this end of the range... the list goes on and on.
That's the only reason I feel that way. The more frames that take that shock, the better chance I'll be able to get something other than a Revox and a CCDB. They are the only two companies right now making a shock to fit my frame. Right now I can barely get a Spring that fits muchless a broad choice in rear shocks. Just to Clarify.
