I guess some of it comes down to not having a very good command of english.

Could it just be a way of measuring travel at the wheel rather than at the shock?

Nice video by Steve from Vorsprung about chain slap and pedal kickback > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grNUgu0H9YA&ab_channel=VorsprungSuspens… . I totally see why the O'chain would help with the chain tugging on the pedal when bouncing around. I think it would also help in some slow speed scenarios like the bottom part of Leogang's WC track.

Rant mode on 1) How is standind o the derailleur body be a test of durability? Take a big rock and bang the derailleur and the cage with it, very hard, hand seee what happens (might be actually super tough, but when is the actual body the problem with durability?) 2) I get it that PB editors are just chasing...

Pretty sure most of the shocks out there have a compression shim-stack on the main piston, maybe we are talking about two different things?

Not sure were to post it, but someone in the team rumors thread posted the schedule for Lenzerheide and it shows Junior final will be on friday (not sure if it is old news?). I guess it is to have time to run the semifinal on sunday, but it is a huge blow for Junior racers IMO. Their race really...

Just a better look at the Unno from Suarez's vlog

So this shock has adjustable HBO like the new coil SD.

Back on topic please

$1600 for a shock is crazy expensive. For that amount of money I would much rather buy a cheaper shock (like a RS) and spent a few days with a tuner to get a revalve for my speed and weight, and have a better performing shock overall.

Alu Demo prototype under Jordan Williams?

Not sure Vital appreciate running ads in the forum? The company folded a few years ago and it's back now (I guess under different management). Their bike used to be good but fell behind geometry wise a bit around 2018-2019. This seems to be up to modern standards, although 10,000 euros for a linkage driven singles pivot is a bit...

Very interesting indeed. I guess a large part of it is also being fit enough to weight the front properly even with a very short rear end. When I put the +8 reach adjuster cup on my bike it made it very stable in a straight line but I was blowing corner due to not weighting the front properly (to...

Full 29 only even for the M sized frame is a bit questionable IMO, but I guess their shorter riders did not have any troubles with it. Nothing crazy going on geometry wise with competitive modern numbers, although I'd like for brands to go with a 460 mm base reach for M frame (based on my experience as a medium...

Is that Pivot actually made with lugs and carbon tubes, or is it just a deceiving paint job? The lower tube seems to be curved near the headtube junction.

The screenshot is from one of his videos (testing Reverse wheels). I might have missed him mentioning that.

Sorry if this is old news, but I was catching up with some older videos from a few months ago and a comment under a youtube video made me notice this: It looks like a dent.

From Suarez's IG. Just from the shadow It doesn't really look like a Unno (thinner top and down tube and different seat tube joint) but might just be a test mule: Not sure wether to post it here or in the tech rumours thread.

It looks like it and it would make sense. He was aknowledged as a big help in developing the new Commencal V5 and I guess that's a nice thing to have on your resume. Unno currently do not offer a modern/updated dh bike (their bike, if they still sell it, is at least two generations old) and might want to...

No, it was Ratboy on the 2014 bike.
