PS. Gwin doesn't use suspension, so not the best candidate for a suspension
comparison. Furthermore even Gwin struggled to hold on to that thing for 4
minutes. Side bar: rumour has it the Demo is a bit linear, so they're using
the air shock to generate a more progressive spring curve. No doubt you can
get an airshock to run fast times on a single 4 minute DH track. That said I
haven't found an air shock that works over a wide variety of different
terrain, on long descents, match the small bump compliance, and ride enjoyment
of a good coil shock.
PPS. Maybe not on all bikes, but most of the 160 mm bikes I've ridden
benefitted from a CS function to reduce suspension motion when seated.
