rumor has it that DVO shock is made in Wakanda and the spring is made from Vibranium

Looks like DVO have a progressive coil coming. Seems to say prorate on one part and then have one spring rate and a dash next to it. Plus it looks like some of the coils are closer together

Yeah for sure if you want to run more sag then it’s great but personally I’m not fan of the way that makes my bike feel. The great thing about DVO is you can tune the bands in both positive and negative regardless of what air can you have so you can make any topaz work awesome for you and...

The HV aircan isn't great for progressive bikes because the air spring requires much more pressure to get enough support at sag and in early to mid stroke (due to starting at higher leverage ratios). That higher spring rate then makes it difficult to use deeper travel. Where as a linear bike that starts out with a lower leverage rate...

There definitely is, that looks like a rebound adjuster at the base of an aircan on Bryson jnrs ebike. The HV can has been on the reign and hail bikes for 18months but I think it’s only just become available as an aftermarket product.

What data are you basing this on? Friction facts tested belts vs chains and there was a small increase in drag at low wattage outputs, mostly due to tension but they diverged at higher watts and the belt had less drag. Also the drag numbers comparing a pinion gearbox vs a derailleur assumes a straight chainline and a clean chain. Once you factor in cross chaining and poor lube/cleaning procedures, pinion bikes are probably no worse than the average derailleur bike
