The key questions for this whole endeavor will be durability, service, and parts. It’s risky as hell to introduce a proprietary shock but the design is enticing. Will it be user serviceable, and parts easy to source? Hopefully reliability and service intervals on this huge damper will exceed that of our usual suspects. I’m definitely intrigued. Gonna be an uphill battle to convince the market to skip Ripmo/Bronson/Jeffsy for aluminum and a proprietary shock/strut at similar cost but I wish Tim and co. all the luck in the world. That bike is a looker IMO.
