except its notWink it uses a different linkage system, very slightly different, but still different. While the Commencal uses a thrust link design, just like the Rocky Mountain RM9, Turner DHR and others, the Morewood uses a pull link, the reasoning is that its stiffer and stronger because aluminium is stronger under tension than it is under compression.

Yes the new pull link are admittedly better and Rocky Mountain uses pull-links or "tug-links" on the new Flatline.

Fox doesn't make a shock with a 3.5 inch stroke. But yes, a high quality damping system is needed to run the recommended 40% sag and obtain effective results. Thats the basics of what I understand from talking to Patrick Morewood.
