Mwahahahaha. Smaug's lair of delights. Making other man caves inadequate since 2017.Holy shit, that is a proper underground lair. Makes my quarantine cupboard look pretty poxy!
But when you take a big hit and the suspension has to move quickly, you still need to get through the initial pedal platform stage, resulting in harshness. Or even the little jittery stuff, damper still needs to make it though the pedal platform. Fox live valve removes the pedal platform before reaching that critical pressure, therefore having smoother reacting suspension.If only someone could come up with something like a regressive damper, that has a clever blow off that responds to trail input without the need or complicated and expensive electronics. Then you would have a strong pedaling platform, that would open up the moment a certain blow-off pressure threshold is met giving you all the advantages of both.
I see your enduro and raise you twin ring freeride bikes.I reckon it does have a market in the trail/enduro scene. Nothing worse than climbing on an enduro bike

Actually I take that back, nothing worse than forgetting your suspension is locked out and sending somethingI see your enduro and raise you twin ring freeride bikes.
THAT was bad climbing
Which is why LV is next level.It's the same damper layout, all they've done is replaced the CTD lever and blow-off valve behind the LSC port with a magnetic actuator that can turn it on and off extremely quickly; then driven it with a clever algorithm that can leave it open where a blow-off valve would automatically close the moment the pressure requirements to bypass it are no longer maintained.
Clearts have been the only way I could get a bike off the ground for years........That and forcing people to run flats.
I think cleats make people lazier than any amount of unnecessary suspension does.
It’s okay mate, we can fix you.Clearts have been the only way I could get a bike off the ground for years........
30,000 lines of code can fix anything.....You can't stop progress. The MTB industry seems to be following closely in the footsteps of the automotive industry where eventually it's cheaper to the throw the car away than repair it. They keep on edging towards electronics a step at a time until it will be mainstream and accepted by most. Good bye to simple back yard fixes.
Except the Joint Strike Fighter.30,000 lines of code can fix anything.....
Predictably unpredictable, sounds stupid
Vital just posted this up running it through its paces.
He notes at the 14:00 mark that the bike can feel different when bunny hopping depending on the terrain leading into a feature, which can be odd on the preload of the jump. Makes sense.
