is that a technical term? Anyone actually use them? Remember avid mechanicals being quite workable for trail riding.
Rigidity and limiting the lateral forces to the shock.
IMO Avid mechanicals were only tolerable on a hardtail going really slow back in the day, and in light of how undependable hydros were at the time.
Gross is just my overall opinion of Paul's man jewelry products.

I'm just being a jerk on the internet, and I do think that stem looks OK.
But overall, I'd say Paul products are designed more for the retrogrouch, NAHBZZ, and bikepacking / Radavist use than for gravity.

w00dy had a great set that were incredibly powerful, even on a DH bike. Every other set I felt was hot trash.
I felt like Avid's compounds for their mech brakes were ultra-grippy. At slow speed and on flats, you were surprised by how much "power" they had. That same compound would overheat and glaze over like no one's business on anything resembling real DH. Under hard DH use, the brakes essentially fell apart.
I‘m open to the potential possibility of the idea that maybe just maybe we are all 100% Retrogrouches. Pretty sure the RM membership proves that.
That is $10 grand right there but no water bottle.

It's just a 4 bar with a linkage actuated shock.

should be fun servicing all those pivots!
I recall seeing that suspension layout before, maybe last year, on a prototype non-electric bike maybe?
what's the bearing count in there? 16pcs? tho at least it's not a NAILD monstrosity.
Not sure who is running it but apparently founders have been in the Industry a good while is the rumor I had heard.
those were speculated to be new BMC frames over on vital a bit ago
That seat tube tower. 
meh, there will be even thinner bikes 2022

Cesar Rojo designed the bikes.
Maybe they got delayed because of Covid...?

did they ask yeti how sliders work?
I had a 303R for 5 seasons with no issues from the rail. I pushed in new grease and cleaned the rail after each ride; I'd imagine if you didn't maintain it well it could turn into a PITA.
Lol you don't even need a mountain to ride down, just flip switches and bounce around...wth
ok, i give up. what does all that do, actually? all i can decipher is hydraulic head tube angle adjustment, but there *has* to be more to it...
