Why is it worth hiding a knucklebox

The only thing that any of these bikes have attached to them that make them actually cool is marketing. Especially from a brand like transition. Norco actually does some pretty cool outside the box stuff but brands like marin or transition make cheaply made bikes that’s survive only off marketing hype.

My hot take is if Brage wasn’t attached to this bike, the response would be much less positive.

Some brands thrive on camaradery instead of rivalry.

As somebody else just said, thankfully, it’s not that because when DVO had their OTT, which if you were the correct rate was pretty awesome actually, it made a ton of noise and you would break it quite often if you needed to change any settings on it(I always had to run it at the max sensitivity). Otherwise it would...

It's not, thankfully, Blister has a photo of it on their review below. It looks like it's a short spring (5mm) that preloads the piston to get it moving https://blisterreview.com/gear-reviews/manitou-mezzer-mezzer-lt-gen-2

I am not seeing how the last 4 pages of this thread have anything to do with rumors or innovation.

Sir, I believe your bike has a cascade link.. so wouldn’t that mean you’re the one that called?

Favorite thing is he’s always claiming no hype, but then everything he does is hyping up his own products without anything backing that they’re better. I’ve ridden a banshee with his link in shock and then one that was stuck, and there was not a massive difference and I thought the one with what I like.

Of all the reviews I have seen online, nobody is complaining about the progression or bottoming out all the time. And if JKW didn't immediately fill it with volume spacers, then I think there is some overreaction here.

You have to remember the true target market of this bike....if you really need that much extra resistance then a Tallboy is the wrong bike for you, full stop. The forum guys wanting to run a coil shock are a niche of a niche type of mountain biker so they aren't going to design the bike with that in mind. I also don't think its that far off, and they maybe chose to ship it with that shock spec so people can easily remove the spacers if that need to. And plenty of people have run coil shocks in bikes...
