Obviously, it's hard to say exactly what they were going for with that orange... especially so when you consider the oddities of boost valve etc that was built into the suspension products of the time. Generally, related and along with spring rate, has to do with shaft speeds at the shock and then the resulting oil displacement within the damper. Higher leverage ratios mean higher shaft speeds, which means more oil displaced. There is a delicate balance between the amount of oil being displaced, the compression/rebound piston ports and shim stacks and the base valve shim stacks. Shocks back then...

Or any less annoying for mechanics. The new ransom features 6 bar suspension (loads of bearings), a hidden shock (self-explanatory), and headset routing (also self-explanatory). It might also have internal routing for on the fly suspension adjustments, but the move towards wireless stuff might make this unnecessary. Its a shame really as they're bikes seem to ride amazingly, and Ben Walker is an amazing engineer, and all of his self-built gamblers are very very cool

Except the Gambler. Still one of the best looking dh bikes out there.

Genius is already with the new integral shock. That's probably the new Ransom.

I just finished the vitalMX a1 podcast. ML said he went to the fox event before the race where they unveiled the 1 piece suit. He then said he was told that a few high level DH guys would wear them at some point this season. So the question is will it be worn at non WC events only or did the UCI change their rules?

I avoid the cost/value discussions as I think you're entitled to spend your money how you want but this is nuts.

It was. Someone threw these up a few pages ago. I am quite excited about this.

I dunno, as demonstrated here, it gets people talking about their product if nothing else.

From Jacks youchoob. Not sure what YT would be hiding other than a rear shock. Still, something to talk about on a Monday.

Dude, are you kidding me? The dreadnought rides like a freaking tractor trailer. It's a damn long bike that only gets longer. It knows one thing and its plow. It's the least sprightly bike I've ever ridden.

We've seen it and it's illegal in World Cup DH. I guess we can blame Palmer for looking so good in Moto gear. After him they banned skin suits.

Makes a lot of sense for pros as it can be tailored to them and it's lighter and more aero, but I can't see it selling well to consumers in the current market

The UCI doesn't allow one piece suits in DH. So not likely.

Nicely cropped so whiskeythrottlemedia and Sven Martin (squidsontour) get no credit for that shot
