I had a bunch of Corsairs due to being buddies with their graphics designer, including a Marque (with an Elka coil) and a Crown (idler, 10.5" shock, and a second tiny air shock!). Always loved the feel of the high pivot, though the plastic shiftable idlers were a total pain on the Marque and Maelstrom, they wore so quickly and weren't necessary since we were running 1x on our trail bikes long before XX1 came out. The Crown had a metal idler since it was a 1x DH bike and worked fine.
Now I'm back on a high pivot Kavenz VHP16 and loving it!
