Perfectly liner suspension curves are not an advantage - manufacturers work very hard to make sure that both front and rear are progressive. The linear nature of a telescopic force becomes a thing that MFGs have to work around with air assist, bottom out valves, etc. And a standard shock has no challenge on valve area or oil volume, since It can grow to the diameter It needs to be. Telescopic forks are limited to the cartridge diameter AND have to deal with/compensate for bending forces on the damper shaft.

The only Inherent advantage of the telescopic system is clearance and packaging for long travel, rider habits/muscle memory built around the natural dive characteristics, and the refinement that comes from decades of evolution.

Those manufacturers inherent conservativism,and the national/world level racing cadence virtually ensure that outside of bursts like the early 80s all innovation is incremental and evolutionary. However, James Parker has been fighting this fight for decades and his work on road-racing machines continues to show promise - If he can find someone willing to risk a race season on finding out: https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/gsx-radd-p3-raddical-future-motor-cycling/

That's not motocross or supercross, but If we only ever followed their lead, we wouldn't have 4-bar rear suspension.

Sorry man, a list of "maybes" isn't as Important as a list of "is." Yeti and their fans aren't giving up a whole lot In this equation. I could name a new bike the "9/11" or the "Hiroshima" because of a dozen maybes but I wouldn't and I don't have to because I have other options. It's amazing the fight people are willing to put up over the smallest inconvenience... It's not that hard to show deference to a people that were wronged. It's not like the words "squad" "team" "family" "crew" "band" etc. don't exist.

It matters if the reason there's only 1000 of the offended people Is because they were victims of one of the largest genocides in human history at the hands of the culture now using that word.  Native Americans were murdered, raped, kidnapped and starved into near-extinction. If none of that had happened and there were now 50M cultural Native Americans living in prosperity and equality In North American society, the appropriation of the word "tribe" wouldn't be a threat and this would be a non-Issue.

So Grip2 might fit Into this fork... any chance the Z1 spring side would fit Into a Fox 36 Grip2? Seems like a nice "factory" option vs PUSH or Vorsprung.
