I know there is also a personal preference here.. ask cesar rojo an he would not go for a super progressive LR, rather conservative.. they woul ddecrease sag and compensate another way in some specific type of bikes (i.e DH and longgg travel).. but to each their own.. I have used a V2 Banshee rune as well and that bike was good only with medium/low volume air shocks.. sucked with coil or an x2 (unless packed with volume reducers).. but again, really personal preference.. what is stupidis regressive LR.. they Ibis HD3 was one of them, shitty bike for good...
