and I got to spin it around the parking lot. Have to ride a lot harder for it's virtues to become evident! Great video of Jeff Kendall-Weed putting it through its paces and explaining the physics here:

Folks have been pushing linkage setups since 70s for forks (moto) and none have even off. Roger DeCoster sold Honda on on in the 80s. Weight

Similar concept. Reviewer didn't talk much about compression, spring rate and damping...but its all still there. How was that addressed? It adds parts and weight, call me suspect. Girvin, AMP, etc. Boatloads of cash goes into suspension....
