Aha that is very helpful. So the 'aft' cylinder contains the damper fluid and IFP, and the 'forward' cylinder is the air spring? Very trick.

Yeah, it's serial instead of parallel - the movement of the shaft into the damper displaces oil volume and that pushes on an IFP between the air spring and the damper oil, thus providing suspension. Same as Millyard, apparently same as 'tank suspension'

Not stoked about the styling. It looks like you're wearing a helmet on your helmet. I guess technically you are?

Another win for CB. This concept works great for the carbon wheels so it makes sense to make it available for more riders at a three digit price point

Good riding and a couple hundo grand (?) of free $! Yes, it sure does have a lot to offer. Wasn't really commenting on that...but rather on B-ham being the hot spot de jour.
