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.

That's what we thought initially, but it turns out the HSR adjuster shaft is sealed at the end of the shock shaft so don't have to service the shock to remove the eyelet. You just don't want to push down on the adjuster shaft or it will squirt some oil out. The hard thing with this is going to be...

this is one of those simple things where you smack your head and say "of course" it's such a simple mod/tooling for a good outcome. Cascade kicking goals! I'm pretty certain a new DHX2 needs a full service to remove the lower eyelet? Not like some of the old shocks where we could thread them off in a vice.

It's not surprising that the trolls who make stupid claims like Scott not having an R&D Department or Cascade Components not understanding kinematics NEVER reply when called on their bullshit.

I'm trying to hypothesize that both Finn and Loic have a particular spring rate that they like and are using the links to tune around the spring rate for a specific feel. I would assume they each have a couple of particular spring rates that they run so bottom out resistance would be fairly fixed. That would leave the links...

It's a fairly safe assumption that it's a 75mm stroke. Ohlins doesn't make a longer stroke trunnion shock and 75 is sufficiently long that there wouldn't be a huge driver to do custom shock bodies just for that. So there's either a significant travel difference or the leverage for Finn's bike is a little higher. 3-1.8 would put it at...

Not sure exactly if, or what, you are disputing that I said. About half of your comment agrees with what I typed, and the other half ignores it. So, as I stated, Finn’s bike is more progressive, while using a lower leverage rate. As I said, “below 2”. Not 2.1, as 3/2.1 would be less progressive. I’m guessing Loic’s bike is in the low to mid 30% range. 3.3/2.1 is 36.5%, I’m speculating that’s on the upper end, but without having the bikes in front of me with a good way of measuring, I can’t tell 100%. I also can’t...

The only way you'd be able to do it is with a longer eye to eye shock, but no way you'd be able to get a 225x75 on it. So yeah it has to be through the linkages. Would not be surprised if it can only be done on larger frames since the swing arm has a less limited range...

It also makes the total amount of travel decrease by about 15mm if it does go from 3 to 2.1. This wouldn't increase bottom out resistance in any way over the 3.3-2.1 set up. It would actually decrease it if an identical amount of sag was used. If less sag then could be equal. Just kind of would make it...

These aren't prototypes anymore, but still don't know if megatowers actually have ISCG 05 mounts or if they are doing some other random spacing like some of the newer SC frames. They say they are, but they say the same for other frames where they definitely aren't.
