Oh, in that case, that's easy to find.

If you look up the compression curves of the latest Santa Cruz bikes with the shock mounted to the lower link, they are fairly linearly falling ratio (rising rate) without too strong a curve, and the curve never changes direction. It probably is _too_ progressive for an air shock or for most non-pro racers tho. Mounting to the top link creates all sorts of weird curves, potentially more than a long travel DW link. Whats strange is that Intense's "JS tune" was stated by them to be more linear than Santa Cruz's VPP, but with how short the links are...

to be fair the kinematics of the pivot dh bikes have not been similar to what most brands are doing for their dh frames and not in a good way most of the time. The pivot Phoenix has a leverage ratio that changes more frequently than the more preferred "linearly progressive" designs as Neko calls it where the leverage is progressive but in a straight line as opposed to curving. the curve makes shock tuning slightly more difficult. controlling the kinematics on two very short links is a challenge which is why most companies opt for longer link designs like...

I've had original T3 on old bike and now JadeX, they are both fantastic shocks but I've always found 3 position compression its major limitation...

Sounds good, can't wait. I want to upgrade my Spectral CF.

nah not upset, i just think they're still ugly as fuck compared to mountainbikes, and the rest of Transitions line is pretty good looking. ride what you want, I won't judge you for taking viagra or riding the elevator either no idea why eebers always feel personally attacked when you say something remotely bad about ebikes

As a Spur owner, and potentially a Spire as well, I'm sad to see Transition on the E-bike train. Especially since their release video for the Spur had a whole Tongue in Cheek skit poking fun at E-bikes.

Unfortunate that mtb's are contributing towards this https://www.wired.co.uk/article/lithium-copper-mining-atacama-desert Sure for ol' folks, those with health issues, or commuters that replace their cars with a ebike makes sense. For the rest, just pedal your damn bike. Greed for "more laps in less time" not a great thing for our future generations.

Imagine getting excited about an ebike release, then its mediocre at best, then trying to convince yourself that its cool because the brand.

Looking forward to the day when mountain bike companies admit running cables through the headset bearings was laughably stupid and go back to cable routing that doesn't lock customers into proprietary headsets and higher maintenance costs. But unfortunately we probably have a rough few years ahead of us as companies try to push this bullshit. I thought Transition was better than that.

Transition usually knocks it out of the park but this is like a ground ball………
