Divinci Wilson info..... I know the horst link is on the Canadian version of the Devinci Wilson...... but do you think the USA version would ride that much different with the pivot on the seat stay? A buddy of mine wants one but doesn't know which version to get. The bike looks sweet and the build rocks.

Horst link will make worlds of difference, moreso with braking than with pedaling (the SPV shock takes care of most pedaling problems).

Did anyone get any info on the Wilson? like travel? weight? etc?
I rode one of those. Not sure which exact model, it was grean and had a Marz. 888 and a Mich 2.8 on the front. It was heavy, to the tune of nearly 50 lbs. feeling. By far the heaviest bike I rode at the Demo. Overall I liked it, but once again the 5thE shock was way over damped for riding at bootleg. Personally, I'm not a fan of how long travel FSR pivot bikes are for braking. Yes, they are smoother in the rear, but the rear also rises up and cause the front to dive even more. IMO if a bike has more than 5" or 6" of travel I like a bit of squat from the rear brake.
