A better fork takes you back to the 90s with Girvin, AMP and K2 linkage forks that give you a lap time of -22 years and an instant win.
178mm

Another dumb name.
I suppose it will be a case of "Trust" us, and just "Shout" the "Message"
...what the fuck is next the "Soapbox"?

Hey rather than fix the plethora of issues that our fork has and riders complain about, we released a longer travel version. That way, instead of not getting 120mm of travel, you can not get 180mm of travel!
I'll wait for reviews to come in before I rag on it.
Seemed to pay off for me with the steaming pile of shit that is "the message."
Always down to try something new if it is genuinely better.
Probably wont be buying one anytime soon (or probably ever) though.

You say that now...
As for the trust LT fork I still want to try it. I wanted to try the message as it was well revived around my circles.

LBS has a message fork for demo...would love to try it but I run a 20mm hub, which means I'd need to borrow a wheel or whatever. Would still love to have ride time to back up my bitching.
They know how to build with carbon and how to copy a linkage so they could just partner with someone trustworthy like DNM to sort the boingy bits out.
Sandwich, do you still have your Evil?
If so, could you let us know which orientation the fork works best in?
giant only does things at scale. even if they got the price down they wouldn't be able to move enough units to justify it.
I think the next one should be the Faith.
Or Mormon.

I just really like the product marketers (*ahem) I mean "designers" always use first person names with these things.
It's not "the shout is a linkage fork"
it's "Shout is a new paradigm in boing boing zeitgeist shift".

i like where you're going with this. i did a long travel hack with my first suspension bike (fsr max backbone) using aluminum stock bolted onto the swing link to create a longer effective lever arm. hacksaw & hand drill ghetto fab at it's finest. i think travel went from 4 point something to a plush 6". subsequently aftermarket long travel links appeared (with a variety of shock bolt mount locations for tweakability). linkage forks invite a veritable plethora of aftermarket linkage tuning opportunities!
I was kind of expecting a suspension frame with telescoping seat stays.
Promise
yet
That looks a lot like Captain Jack's in the Crested Butte bike park
I was thinking the same thing actually. They've got some other press release photos that look like crested butte.
I've only ever ridden that park after about a foot of rain overnight. I couldn't stay on that trail to save my life in some spots.

Yup. That's why I was initially surprised you didn't recognize it. @Full Trucker can confirm that it is the back side of North Table Mountain.
Front side was hero-dirt this morning:

Those front range glaciers really are something.
Front Range glaciers - please. Some peoples' kids...
the fuck is "contour travel" supposed to be? 
If you have to ask, I suggest you educate yourself regarding the trust effect.the fuck is "contour travel" supposed to be?
Review: Trust Shout Linkage Fork - Does Different Mean Better? - Pinkbike
Find out if the Shout's outlandish looks deliver improved performance on the trail.
"looking for something that’s soft and comfortable? Get yourself a Buick. But if you can handle high-speed and crave performance, get a Porsche" - new highs of stupidity, we've got coil forks you know, they do both.
Ouch.
Interesting that this is like a single paragraph review, whereas the last one was an essay that took a week to read, let alone write.
That quote of yours is taken from the Marketing Manager of Trust. Which puts into another light immo.Wow, that is harsh.Review: Trust Shout Linkage Fork - Does Different Mean Better? - Pinkbike

Kazimer's final thoughts are a bit different.
"If the Shout's on-trail performance trounced that of a traditional telescoping fork it'd be easier to look past its price, weight, and looks. Unfortunately, that's not the case. While there are intriguing elements to its handling, they're not quite enough to outshine the current crop of high-end telescoping forks on the market."
Make of it what you want. Maybe they didn't pay enough, maybe the testers weren't open enough for the change in riding feel, I don't know. 4 months is a relatively long testing period I think. I would give it a try if I had the chance, but I would never spend the amount of cash for one.
