You are correct, suspension feel is pretty similar, just less of it.
What about the leverage of the SS vs. the og megatrail?
I plotted out the ss based on the one photo I know you had second thoughts about putting on the site. Not quite confident in what I got.

Trail Mode is pretty similar, Gravity Mode has more mid stroke support and bottom out resistance.
You mean the pictures posted make it difficult to analyze in Linkage? That's so odd.....
Edit: average leverage ratio is lower to run lower air pressure in Debonair style air springs, and lower spring rates with coil springs
They said it was "bouncing on the edge of contol" and the douche in the video was like, I know how to set up my suspension, blah blah blah.
It seems to me that if it's too stiff and "bouncing" to much, you dont have your suspension set up properly.... am I missing something here????

They also didn't indicate their method of measuring sag. In the Trail Pistol owner's manual, the method to measure sag that we use is in seated climbing position. If they measured it with the method of standing over the BB*, their 25% sag would probably be more like our 20% - 23% sag....and yeah, that would ride very stiff.
* we recommend seated climbing position for measuring sag as it is repeatable and gives useful numbers for the fork and shock. Standing over the BB is easily repeatable for rear sag, but is difficult to get a repeatable/measurable fork sag number.
because horsey link and freedum link and Secret Sawce
you guys are getting far too deep into your own inside jokes... you've completely lost me.
A, final answer.
WRONG
Sorry, clicked the trump button.
I find it so odd that nobody mentions the terribleness of the evil sear angle in any review. They make some good bikes but fucking shit fix that seat angle.
Regarding the GG review, suspension setup is one of those things that seems like reviewing parts on a high end bike. If there's something wrong with the suspension, either fix it, ask for a replacement shock if it's fucked, or try it yourself. It's like complaining that the slx drivetrain isn't your favorite on a bike that's sold frame only but making no mention of its geometry or stiffness. At least try.

The Bike tests have been a Yeti and Evil advertisement for a few years now IMO.
Clear the dude complaining about the TP either set up the bike wrong, is on the wrong size (pretty big height differential between the testers) or just doesn't "get it." If your front wheel is pushing in an uphill turn (one of his complaints), you are just doing it wrong. He is also holding a post ride cocktail rather than a beer which further calls his judgment into question. Incidentally, the guy who liked it best is the fastest, most aggressive rider of the 3 in the video (based on having watched the other reviews and looked at the riding footage).

Gonzo Cycles already has at least one new Megatrail and Trail Pistol demo, in Carpenteria. That's not far from Santa Monica.
When u gonna start doing Front Range demo days? Specifically - you should have one at Deer Creek. 
Yeah, come summer time.When u gonna start doing Front Range demo days? Specifically - you should have one at Deer Creek.
The demo fleet is also in the shop if you want to come demo one anytime before then.
Dude, they're on 20th Street. Every day is a possible demo day.When u gonna start doing Front Range demo days? Specifically - you should have one at Deer Creek.
When do you start aggressively insulting your critics and defending yourself with unsubstantiated claims?
Yeah - but if they have MT, MT-SS, and TP at Deer Creek I could try them all in a day. And I'm all about my own convenience.
Besides - the riding at 20th Street sucks.
Tantrump?
y u not like stadium huxx???Yeah - but if they have MT, MT-SS, and TP at Deer Creek I could try them all in a day. And I'm all about my own convenience.

Too much pony traffic?
Not yet, but if you want to tell the shops in either location that you're looking to demo GG bikes, it'll help!
HAB: "yeah, bruh, I turned the knob up to 11 and broke it off"
The new Gravity Mode™ is closer to the 1st gen Super Gravity with more mid stroke support and bottom out resistance, which is basically what most folks asked for. And, with a little higher BB, and a steeper seat tube angle, keeping the turbo button permanently depressed works better than before.
