Good review overall, but the end got me... so it boils down to:
- Needs a more progressive linkage = blows through last half of travel on big hits. Needs a more rearward axle path = not good over square hits. Need to get weight back over jumps = get bucked easily if not careful. Needs a stiffer rear end = doesn't follow a line well through fast rough terrain \(tire was hitting the stays? Really?!\).
Yet, then you say:
- "at $7,900 CDN... I think there is fair value for money here."
Uhhh whoa whoa whoa... sorry, nope, will all those shortcomings, no way I'm spending **$8k** on that bike...
