Lefty is a superior chassis to conventional singlecrowns. I've got a feeling
the pike damper will give it the edge, but if the dampers were equivalent
lefty is better. Just on stiffness merits alone. While singlecrowns foam rings
have dried up and stopped lubricating round bushings… lefty needle bearings
keep going strong. Another big advantage of the lefty not discussed is a lower
axle to crown. Just as a dual crown 200mm boxxer has an almost equal axle to
crown as a 180mm fork, the lefty has a ~10mm lower a2c than equivalent
singelcrown. Nice to see nsmb giving the lefty some attention.
