Ok people, so average joe input for you: I've been riding a long time in the uk, Europe and now Australia and had bikes from most big companies. Until about 12 months ago I had 3 bikes including a top shelf v10 with a pushed rear shock. My current ride is a cannondale claymore running the dyad. I have ridden it down double blacks all day on shuttle days. Done all day epics. I ride at least once a week sometimes 3. Set up correctly the dyad feels no compromise on the v10 For all but the biggest repetitive big hits on VERY long runs and that is simply the rebound heat piece on all air shocks. run the elevate mode hard and fast and easily keep up with my mates on xc trails and then smash pump tracks and dirt jumps. If you haven't ridden this set up the shock actually changes geometry completely from a downhill slack head angle to a xc steep. It's not just a travel thing. In terms of set up I like the rear shock a bit harder than recommended by about 10% I also run the thumb lever upside down. The whole bikes weighs 13.5kgs 180mm travel in full mode 110mm in elevate 66 degree head angle. Pretty decent numbers. Not interested in marketing or the make of my bike. I just like having one bike that I can put great kit on instead of having 3 average bikes. Interestingly apart from replacing cables, not one other issue with the bike. Maybe I've been lucky who knows but most of my other bikes have developed creaks and rattles in half the time. I ve thought about changing it recently, but simply cannot find a ride that can do what this can and that really is due to the shock versatility. For me it makes more sense for the shock to run longer travel though so I think the new jeykell would be a better ride than this trigger.
