In my opinion, there are three major differences between them: Anti-rise (or brake squat), Pedal Kickback, and Leverage Rate. AR on the Supreme is a bit excessive due to the high main pivot, causing probably losses of traction and a higher compression than...
Thanks! Well, it has highs and lows. Overall I think is a great machine for bikeparks, freeride or this kind of trails and riding style. About kinematics is remarkably the low PK values with small rear cogs, the flat and high AS curve which ensures great stability and composure under hard pedalling, and the rearward axle path for better absorption...
