10 in the BACK??? What bikes? I thought it was always best to keep around 8 inch travel. Anymore might not be good. Pedal bob?? Someone correct me if I am wrong.
you can get 12" on the back

yea I think karpiels have 12" but the company describes them best "over the top, indestructable"

they are exactly the same as before, Jan Karpiel just decided to start making bikes again. As for travel, the Karpiel Apocalypse has 13" of rear travel with 2 shocks.

yea doesent suprise me there all about travel not geo. 13 inches is pretty overkill though. the bikes are really only good for big drops and the rampage.

ok so... what I got out of this was basically that the difference between the 7 and 8 is components and amount or rear travel. But the frame strength is the same...? Like take all components off and put a demo 7 and 8 together. only difference is the size rear shock you can put in and some slight geo differences. am I correct?
