You'll be fine I've seen those things built to finely tuned race rigs.

As for comaring to the Stinky I wouldn't know.

The Yakuza would be better at DH, stinky better @FR. IH; More travel, longer stroke shock, more DH geometry, designed around 8" forks. But the yakuza is probly slightly inferior in quality to the stinky. So you decide what you prefer. Personally, I would take a yakuza over it.

They are both the same, single pivots, but they feel different to ride as they have diff geo....
