thats gona bottom out alot...

My mongoose Khyber has this design and 6.5" of travel. NEVER bottomed out. It feels like it could compress for ever.

jimbo33000 (May 2, 2009 at 19:29)

you must not ride that hard then, my giant faith 2 has 9" of travel and i bottom it out everytime i ride. (it doesnt have that much stock, i know, i have a bigger shock...2008 roco)

fr112358 (May 2, 2009 at 21:44)

Well thats a Maestro system. I was specifically talking about the Freedrive with a progressive air shock.

giant0rider (May 3, 2009 at 15:31)

ok first of all jimbo, your faith has 7'' of travel. and even if you did have a longer shock it wouldnt work. yes i have tried. second he doesnt have his spring on his shock hes showing the stroke of his bike.

fr112358 (May 3, 2009 at 18:10)

Faiths are 8.

giant0rider (May 3, 2009 at 18:11)

no. they are seven. florys are 8.8

fr112358 (May 3, 2009 at 19:06)

Ahh here you're wrong sorry.
Glory is also 8
Glory DH is 8.8

why are you spoken about giants in the mongoose movie?)

in this bike has 185 mm of travel

jimbo33000 (May 13, 2009 at 9:32)

if you looked i replied to fr112358's comment, about how he says it never bottoms out. also to the others that think the faith has 7, it has 8 look it up, and if you look at the ratio from shock stroke to travel, a slightly longer stroke shock (which i have) will make a large difference in travel, about 3/4 of an inch or more.

jimbo33000 (May 13, 2009 at 9:51)

heres a link about the 8"

fr112358 (May 13, 2009 at 15:38)

It's very simple. My personal experience with a Mongoose Freedrive system and a Roco Air shock is that it is very progressive. When set up correctly, this suspension design does not bottom often. It is not a perfectly linear rate.

I have a kyber and its awesome.. the BD Triple is even better. Romaniuk rides it... I've never seen any mechanical Failure on his videos. I broke the Marz 55 off a 15ft drop but the rear held up fine. Upgraded to a totem and now I got a sicko bike.
