how's the support at the end of the stroke and bottom out resistance? v2 used to blow through travel more than I'd like even after megneg... doesn't look like the curve changed enough to help with that... new shock tune? Santa Cruz said "This provides improved bottom-out resistance with more consistent damping and support" not sure if this is improved from v2 or some other thing, hard to say. but I'd love to see a bit more progressive suspension curve which doesn't appear to be the case

well unfortunately they didn't really changed the shock tunnel, the hightower continues to be the only bike in the lineup that doesn't have good shock compatibility, no x2, no coil, while all other lower link bikes support (except maybe the tallboy). It's puzzling to me why SC continues to limit hightower's shock compatibility.

but I agree, I'm having a hard time seeing a reason to move from my v2 to a v3, doesn't look like enough change to justify that. Wish they had added more progressive ratio since it's one thing that I don't really like on the v2, seems to be too easy to go through travel and bottom out. Megneg was a big improvement but still not quite as much as I'd like to.

link?

still waiting for a Yeti strap that backcountryresearch said it would be available an year ago! Great product, but still can't keep up with the promises, maybe due to demand!
