As Julian mentioned the progression is 23% according to their website. And as you mentioned I find longer travel bikes need less progression. With air shocks in particular I've found bikes with too much progression wind up having a lot of sag if you had any hope of using full travel. The downside of this was the there was less positive travel left, and the bike felt mushy at sag. Like I mentioned in the article I really like what Transition picked for frame progression, and air volume in the Super Deluxe. I felt no need to alter the air spring volumes from stock, and that's a first for me.
