Actually I can see DI2 more so than this gizmo. Some bikes have horrible cable routing and shitty shifting as a result. DI2 cures that although better cable routing does too. But that is not always possible given the complexities of suspension linkages. But this? I think Pivot’s own website claims the DW link needs no lockouts or climb switches because of excellent kinematics.
I keep reading how lockouts allow better more efficient climbing but no one has ever to my knowledge put a number to it. No real numbers, no sale.
Like boost or super boost plus. I don’t know about others, but I haven’t been blowing up non boost wheels right left and center. Sure better bracing angle of spokes should be stronger. How much stronger? How much stiffer? If what I have is strong enough and stiff enough why is more better?
