We have developed a range of linkages that cater to aggressive riding in rough terrain by delivering more traction and more bottom out resistance. If you ride for the downs, look no further!

All linkages are fully CNC'd right here in Seattle, Washington USA.

Bringing back this graph for the sake of illustration. If travel and shock are kept identical and the leverage curve is a nice simple line, more progressive inherently means higher initial leverage ratio and lower final leverage ratio. All these here intersect at exactly 50% shock stroke, at which point the leverage ratio is the average leverage ratio. The mathematical...

It works as advertised for the most part. There are still scenarios where pedal kickback can be encountered, but they should be pretty rare. Let's consider the current generation Nomad for an example. The suspension has to compress about 80mm to get 18 degrees of pedal kickback. Because you are always guaranteed the same amount of slack in the hub...

On the note of disengaging hubs and pedal kick, so long as whatever drive mechanism you have can automatically engage when you pedal forwards, it's impossible to prevent it from causing pedal kick. The drive mechanism, whether it be hub or BB based, can't differentiate between the chain getting pulled on due to you pedaling and the chain getting pulled...

The goal was really to increase the time in between bleeds as opposed to compensating for a bad bleed. That and help with wandering bite point on some brakes. For brakes with a contact adjuster it's really just that we were testing the pressure side of things and one of us happeend to be running those brakes.

Historically speaking, no. The demand for less travel has been low. People have generally wanted two different things, more travel (within reason of course) and/or the ability to run a longer shock stroke for similar or slightly larger amounts of travel. I feel we might be at a turning point, though. With the new Bronson and Hightower, my first thought...

Right, my Hellbents remain the greatest ski ever made as far as I'm concerned. And I still pull them out for fun 1-2 days a year. Skiing was just going full retard back in 2012 but in the best possible way. I will admit a 110 ski is good in the PNW "powder" 99.99% of the time. If I lived in JH I'd consider a 120mm but anything beyond that is basically not worth it anymore. It is a lot easier justifying having 3-4 pairs of different width skis tho, they are like 1/4 the price of a bike. end...

I like the ski analogy. I feel like there was a golden age for powder skis around 2012-2014. The Bent Chetlers from that era remain one of my favorite skis ever. Since then, powder skis have walked back a bit in terms of how purpose driven they are. I think largely because it didn’t make sense to have so many...

Hard to really say because I haven’t looked at these two bikes too in depth yet. I’m honestly surprised the anti-squat is as different as it is at top of travel. Based on past experience with SC bikes, I would expect the rollover of the larger wheel to be the most notable thing for pedaling.

What I find confusing about the new Stumpjumpers is they offer it in a coil version with a 27.5 wheel and they've corrected geo for the smaller wheel using the upper link just like with the previous Stumpjumper, which significantly reduces progression. So the most linear bike in the entire lineup comes with a coil.
