I only mentioned peddling. Check the anti squat for both there pretty close, heavier bikes are heavier we all get that.

Well baron did mention general trail riding if we (I) are nitpicking...
No surprise antisquat values are similar, how many bobby bikes are left out there? I think bob wise kinematics have been dealt with overall.

Hey everyone, I've got a heater for you today. It looks like SRAM are officially working on an active suspension system to compete with Fox's Live Valve system. The cool thing about SRAM’s is that the controller, battery, and motor are all encased in a single component that attaches directly to the shock. It’s extremely compact and unobtrusive. In the end, this system attempts to do the same thing as any active system — make more grip by automatically adjusting fluid flow a zillion times per second. The best part: this is entirely wireless.
What do we think?
And if you enjoy these, please feel free to follow along on IG or Facebook. The links are in my signature.

I'm just waiting for an integrated dropper/rear shock system. On a modern enduro rig post up probably means shock firmed up, and post down means shock open.
One lever to rule them all.
Integration could also add oil volume to a shock without adding more weight.

Thanks for reminding me that I took this picture back in 2019. Looks like this has been in the works for a while

Oh shit bro, do you mind if I put that on this article? Where did you take that? Can you tell me more about it? Fuck I love this thread.

Feel free! I took that picture up at Trestle. IIRC the owner was a Sram employee from Colorado Springs, beyond that I'm not sure. It looked production ready, so I'm surprised it took this long for there to be information on it

Edited Date/Time:
Yeah, hard pass on doubled up lever. I leave my shock open all the time.
EDIT: BTW, it wasn't as live valve-ish as Fox's system is, but RS already had something similar for Ghost, Lapierre and Haibike (the latter at a time they weren't focused only on e-bikes). Was it e:i or something similar?

Ya, they've been trying to do this for a long time. It appears as though the Lapierre system is quite a bit different. They took an input from the fork and extrapolated the data to adjust the rear shock because there was no sensor in the rear triangle. So, the system would sense a bump at the fork, then determine speed with a speed sensor, and try to anticipate the change to the rear shock with a delay function. It was crude, but a good intermediate step.
K2 also tried all the way back in the late 90's. The concept is there, we're just seeing refinement and iterations toward the correct answer. They'll get there eventually. It just takes time and money.

The E:I also had a cadence sensor, leaving the shock open when you weren't pedalling. It would open/close only while pedalling (closing if there was no input from the fork).

It's a verb. The act of selling. Just saying.

I'm personally hoping you can set your own "map" since by the looks of things there will be a pedal sensor along with the current dropper post and shifters.
So you could maybe set a rule like "dropper at full height" + "shifter in easiest gear" = Firmest position or "seat down" + "constant pedalling" = 60% LSC etc.
Just speculating! But this is what I would do

to really be effective it would be slowing LSR down too like the cane creek climb switch, their one works the best of all of them IMO.

Someone commented on th Hayes Dorado product page about the fork being discontinued, and they replied: "Ledgens never die", and link to this :
https://hayesbicycle.com/pages/dorado
Maybe this was mentioned a few pages back when the guy at darkfest was running what looked to be a (new) Dorado.

This could well be the same Sentinel that drove an RS engineer to design the MegNeg.
This bike only came with a DPX back then and it would likely have to have been owned by an RS employee for it to have a SuperDeluxe, and a prototype one, in fact.

ZK is a puncture protection material from the Maxxis road line. It's been adapted to DH for team use only at the moment. ZK is considerably more expensive than existing materials which is why it hasn't made it into production tires. That and most of us mere mortal DH riders don't need the extra protection.
The 2.5 DHR is a team only spec as well just to keep the Minion SKUs from getting (even more) bloated.

Is the ZK puncture or tear protection? Could it be used with an EXO casing to make a better, light casing?
