What Cascade Components is doing is a really big deal, and making a really positive impact on the industry. If you're a hard rider, and I don't mean pro, your bike is almost certainly not progressive enough. I can't tell you how many frames I've broken over the years from hard bottoming them thousands of times. No, you shouldn't use all your travel every ride.
A few years ago we learned that most bikes should be slacker. This year we're learning that most bikes should be more progressive.
