side question: is there a place where people could share their ideas on suspension kinematics and where they could share the kinematics of different bikes? I would like to know the leverage curve, axle path, and anti rise of the Atherton a150.
New Scott stuff, I think it was said in this thread that that is a yes to both, both a new one coming and having an integrated shock. At least for the genius, not sure about the Ransom (I think it holds true for the Ransom too).
About Mick, electronic shifting incoming? I wonder where the wire is going (looks to disappear under the grip). Any info about the boxes on the downtube? Just data acquisition stuff or something else besides it too?
it's in here about the 1:19 mark

The DW6 might be difficult to model (short links) and difficult to accuately see pivot locations in photos.
They are going to allow you to mount piggyback and coil shocks on the Ransom... right? Right?
So i would expect piggyback and coil capable otherwise these days youll get hammerd by the Reviewers and will greatly reduce your market.
The current Bold 150 has the Nude variant shock mounted horizontally with a Bottom bracket Rotating link.
Honestly, ive ridden the current Gen Genius and Ransom - both in the Tuned Version and they feel like an XC bike both up and down. They dont ride like you'd expect them to.
I've already got my name down for a 2023 ransom Frame if i can otherwise ill have to buy the base model an give everything the flick... just to get the frame.(will consider Changing to genius if they bump the travel to 160 in the front and its got modern AM Bike geo.)
It made sense on the spark, allowing two bottles for XC , marathon DC type bike.
Meaning good on the way up, bad on the way down?
Your want of th frame makes it a bit dubious what you're trying to say with the XC bike going down to be honest.
"Having it inside keeps it away from dirt, gnar, rain, snow and all the other stuff the world can throw at it and make it need service sooner. smile"
Shocks tend to need service from their insides themselves as well... I've seen a few Super Deluxes with air in the damping chamber, there were cases with shocks having a fairly dark oil in the damper fairly quickly too, etc.

Which Commencal is a VPP?
