[Quote="freeride5"]if he stays, what type of suspensoin would IH if it sucks theres no reason to stay its like having santa cruz start making wlamrt bike their top bike, i dont think steve would like that[/Quote

Dude, what the heck are you talking about. just because they don't have DW-Link anymore doesn't mean that their bikes are going to suck now. For example the yakuza, it does not use the DW-Link system and it still is a great Xfreeride bike.

Iron Horse may revert to the days of the SGS and bring back horste link into their line up, just a guess.

So wouldn't it just be like Norco and IH trading suspension designs?

A bunch of companies do. It's just that in the US Specialized (aka Evil Empire) owns the patent and charges an arm and a leg for the rights to use it. Norco is limited to how many bikes they can sell and a part of the price goes right to Darth. They charge an arm and leg and it eats into company profits.

Devinci, Mondraker are two more.

Is it 100% positive Norco will get to use the DW link?
