Guerrilla Gravity, badass frame manufacturer in Colorado

The rub is the Gnarvana is probably the GG frame that would most shine with that shock.
Ride today, saw a Smash and a Gnargravy.

Why is that the rub? The new ELEVENSIX on the Gnarvana has been extremely successful.

hey Darren .... mis spoke when I said Gnarvana, but same thought on the Mega. It is what it is.Why is that the rub? The new ELEVENSIX on the Gnarvana has been extremely successful.
*AKA we've done our own research.
I didn't know that was why the Megatrail shock option disappeared, and that does seem reasonable, if unfortunate.
My response was more to do with an unwillingness to build (or rebuild) shocks for configurations that aren't OEM. For example, not adding stroke to a Sentinel v1 to take advantage of a Cascade link, or a Bronson v3 with a Cascade link that gives enough progression and clearance for a coil. It's your business so obviously you can sell whatever you want to whoever you want, but for people who like to really tweak their bike setup at their own risk, it can be a be a big turnoff knowing that option won't be there.
Anyways, the 11-6 is a great product for a lot of people who color within the lines, especially if they want something that "just works."
Unfortunately we're not able to sell products in most countries with the stipulation "at your own risk". Also, the relationship that we have with all of the frame manufacturers to ensure that our product doesn't void warranty is critical.
With modern air springs being so linear, most current MTB frames are already quite high rising-rate designs and more than compatible with a coil. With our progressive spring system and Hydraulic Bottom Out piston, there really isn't a need for more progression from the linkage.
like this isn't the same industry......
actually that kind of looks like something JM owns........
it's 60mm stroke though, right? I know it'd have to be all revalved and stuff, but I might hold out for at least a 65 for the least amount of changes.
On some frames you still get a wonky feeling IME where you use nearly all the travel on the coil, despite it having the ABS and shaped bumper that prevent actual bottom. I feel this on drops mostly. Nice to have more progression, even if you weren't bottoming with the less progressive setup with band-aids.
Have you ever ridden an 11-6? (serious question)
I'll never forgive PUSH for making a very apparent decision to exclusively serve the dental community and abandon us street folk who just want a retune (or deliberately not doing something I asked them to do on an airshock tune long ago, or not making an 11-6 for DH bikes), but riding one of those on a dw turner RFX was probably one of the most impressive shock/frame pairings I've ever experienced in my bike riding life. A typical "for an air shock" highly digressive endstroke, even going regressive, and that coil shock turned that thing into a fucking smashbuggy that still pumped transitions with pretty astounding efficiency. Knowing what that bike is designed to work with, there's zero doubt in my mind that whatever your dorps to falt are, Darren and crew know how to make a genuinely progressive coil shock after seeing that combo first hand.
But it's almost like they'd need to design it for the bike ..........
I always wanted to try one on one of the fucked up u-curve santa cruz bikes. Cuz there really ain't no fixing that.

that's not one of the frames I'm talking about
that one is legit
I meant the miami vice gen

i was still beating the fuck out of my uzzi with a ccdb coil and a too-high bottom bracket when that noise came out...still had the sixc bars tho
Haven't ridden a 11-6 aggressive or hard, only tooling around, so I can't say how it would work out, plus isn't the V2 of the 11-6 the ones that incorporates the HBO? I thought V1 didn't have this for some reason? The tuned RC4 on the RFX did a lot really well and about the only thing it didn't do well was support during the drops. It didn't bottom, you just used a lot more travel than you should/other bikes. HBO though only kicks in at the very end of travel AFAIK. That's the way it works on forks, it's like last 10-15mm max, so I can't imagine it's adding support earlier in the travel if it works the same. That would have to be some progressive spring wizardry IMO to add support earlier in the travel. I had the shaped bumper, but same thing, it only really kicks in at the end. Progression and compression damping seem to do a lot more to keep a bike higher in the travel IME. The RC4 did almost everything really well though with the exception of that, which is part of the trouble I'm having with the Arma and trying to get it to do some of the same things as well, like just basic coil-suppleness holding onto off-camber stuff.

My larger point was that you don't need to explain the need for a progressive shock to darren murphy regarding specific applicability to some frame designs
not forgetting the dh market that created your business might need some reminders.......but not the basic need for an application specific damping layout

but seriously...your "trying too hard" belies your "effortless snark" and also your "i don't even ride any more because it's all so lame."
now get yer ass back out here for some funz!
Careful, you don't want him to become self-aware. Like Clayton Bigsby, wouldn't be a healthy result.View attachment 165330

It does shine on the Gnarvana, that is the setup I ride most of the time.
was just on the site. seeing a liquid error here:

fwiw
oh cool I can lowball you on it
already heavily outdated, no one wants that thing, pretty much a paper weight
I'll trade you one shiver
Hmm...OK. One Shiver leg
and I'll need some ash from Lake Tahoe fire that completely sucked the sun from the sky in CO
AND a cool video making fun of Santa Cruz and their new line of bikes that you have to shuttle on a donkey. Maybe some Miami Vice music to boot.
Deal?

I think putting ebikes on donkeys counts as animal cruelty...
and for @jstuhlman who's memory seems to always put him at a disadvantage regarding the shit talking about bikes here, yet never stops him from going off

(I do feel bad for your friend and anyone who lost everything in a forest fire. So let me be clear about that. It happens here too)
Plus the vid, so good! I guess it was a horse, not donkey. Still L'ingMAO
Okay I hate you people you got me looking for used 11-6 shocks and apparently they exist now
either version should work on a megatrail config yes?

other than that instagram account you showed me I feel like the death of the bike industry shit talking has made way for "hey company x, I will literally give you a blowjob if you help me look cool on my youtube channel"
and really.....the shit talking is more deserved now than ever

A Megatrail requires this version:
The new version below will NOT fit the Megatrail, but will fit the other GG models:
If you're referring to the complete shock, the new version is a ground-up redesign after 5 years of utilizing the previous generation. If you're just talking about the new mounting system you can check it out here:
