Yeah, I like the old design much better for the optics. The rocker simply looks wrong with no visible hardware on the drivetrain side.If aesthetics are so damn important, why do the paint jobs looks so crappy and why did they base their rocker design on this?
Meanwhile from Neko's bike check "82psi and 6 tokens in the fork, 170psi and 5 spacers in the shock"
Thinking about it: Do they run that much spacers to get the midstroke support they need?
told me that their airspring isn‘t too good.
Neko often times gets the coil dialed and then tries to see if he can get the air shock running as good or better. He has access to both and runs what he prefers.Thinking about it: Do they run that much spacers to get the midstroke support they need?
Would coilsprung suspension with a decent hydraulic bottom out be actually the better option?
I mean pairing one of the most progressive bikes on the market with the largest air can damper there is, must clearly result in a wallowy midstroke, right?
I feel the same about the fork, as the
They obviously run insanely fast into stuff and have an active riding style, which benefits from progressive suspension, but I have a feeling that a coilsprung bike with an actually good designed bottom out should be way better and more consistent.
Is Neko actually running the max amount of tokens?!
The Float X2 is probably actually a good match for a bike that's excessively progressive - the bigger can means that those shocks are fairly linear in the last 2/3 of travel (to the extent that they're not the best choice for trailbikes with flatter or digressive endstrokes). Having a high leverage value and steep curve gradient in the early stroke helps balance the higher initial rate of air too.
