New reverb goes well past 200mm. Seen 3 out in the wild.

Geo looks pretty solid to me, I like the XL with the 445 stays (low bb mx wheels)

What do you mean baby a long travel rig? Have you seen what material gravity race bikes have been made from for the last........10 years? I've seen more catastrophically broken alloy bikes in that time, and Pivot/Santa Cruz customers just plain don't want Aluminium anyway

And yet entirely in keeping with the overall industry ethos. My biggest initial reservation on ebikes was around their potential implications for access. Rules vary a lot and in their quest for sales I can't recall any company providing any sort of guidance on potential "ethics". I recall one manufacturer taking a fleet of Ebikes on a dealer demo past a "no motors" sign in Whistler..... The implication that users will self police themselves is naive at best and disingenuous at worst...

I heard a rumor that this new ebike from Specialized can toggle between class 1 and class 3. If true, this blatant disregard for land and recreation managers from one of the United States' biggest sellers is pretty sh*tty.

If you want actual help I would personally recommend a suspension service centre

Measured the o-ring at around 60mm travel with a little over 5mm left at the end. This shock was for a SB160, but aside from the unneeded hardware and slightly different compression tune nothing else seemed unique. Sold as 230x65, unless a travel reducer was installed without mention - which is possible And with that, last post on this until I pull it apart. Apologies for the hijack.

Industrial robots, actual boats, golf equipment, electronic/network devices...

To give some credit where credit's due, since air shocks have gotten much better, it's been a while since any short link bikes had a significant regressive hump at the end of their travel; the most recent one I can think of is the Ibis Ripmo. In fact, many short link bikes get more progressive at the end for increased bottom-out resistance. At the end of the day, my two cents about HBO is that it shouldn't be a dealbreaker. It's highly dependent on your personal preferences, bike kinematics, and bike setup. I don't think it'll ever be (or should...

I don't doubt that, the 11.6 is one of the most expensive shocks on the market. And we're both just providing single anecdotal evidence of our own experiences, on one bike. But I'd wager you wouldn't be upset if the 11.6 had HBO and it's a wonderful feature on more affordable and non-custom tuned shocks. I'm with you though on quality, I had a CC DB coil that was excellent w/o HBO. But again, it would've been even better with it lol, this argument goes around in circles.

Don’t forget guitars

Yamaha, now makes Pianos, motorcycles, ebike motors, electronics, and tunes engines for Auto manufacturers. That's certainly diversified manufacturing. Edited to add, Guitars and boat motors.

That’s what she said

forgot about this pic 🤦‍♂️

The o-ring will never go past last few mm of stanchion on a Vivid air. The full stroke is still there though. You can verify by letting all the air out and removing the valve core. Same thing happens on forks, but on some of them there's a line showing what max travel is.
