I like everything about this! When I started my own business in 2008 making very different products to the rest of my sector I had so many naysayers, not least of which were those saying our products would have no secondhand value. Here we are 14 years on, still a very small business but one with a big reputation for making the best of the best - and those first products occasionally turn up on the used market for about what they cost new!
This long stroke shock in the top tube is such a neat solution for so many engineering reasons - I bet the peak loads on the frame are so much lower than with more complex suspension designs (I won’t mention the ever cracking Commencal Supreme…)
