Bike looks fantastic!
One thing that has me a bit confused is the recommended 20% rear sag. Presuming that the suspension works well with only 20% sag, the dynamic geo must be quite a bit steeper than say my '21 SJ Evo at 30-32% sag (where it actually works well).
Also, the ability of your rear wheel to move downwards is quite important for suspension performance and the Arrival has quite a bit less of that travel (reverse travel?) as well to assist with keeping the rear wheel in touch with the ground, particularly on steep descents.
Would like to hear more on this topic.
