My Italian is a little rusty, but it seems this was made using a servo from the RC world, connected to some kind of stroke measuring device on the brake lever blade. The idea being to change the compression settings of the shock under different types of braking events.

Now that is cool. RC servos are pretty quick for their intended applications. This is a way better idea than wireless brakes.

Really cool. I understood (italian is pretty good but technical stuff goes over my head) the goal is to optimize suspension performance for every phase of cornering- opening compression under braking, back to neutral/baseline while rider is neither braking nor pedaling, then stiffening compression when the crankset is under forward load to maximize forward drive. I.e. theoretically providing gains on both corner entry and exit. Proper active suspension system.

1st gen M1 can do it too, but I found it still to be quite buggy. It messes with the non-HR-modes. Also I've found that my HR isn't lower on the DH so I often get more Power on the DH then on the climbs. Stopped using the feature because of that.

Continuous damping adjustment within an existing suspension system based on braking inputs is interesting, but it isn't active suspension. Active suspension controls ride height using positional actuators and does away with springs and dampers entirely.

Blasting up fireroads at 20mph is SO sick. So rad.
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams
