See, those were innovative ideas, and were actually set to do something better. Can't compare that.

That's trying to fix a problem that was never there. The idea behind the headshock was to limit torsional flex. And it did so fairly well. The lefty was made to be light, and yet again, it was. The magic link is made to change geometry on the fly, to make a bike more versatile. Not needed. But, hey, does it work well, and does it fix the problem?

No, the magic link is to automatically change the geo and travel depending on whether the rider is pedaling or not.

No, not so much while he's pedaling, it's more about changing the geo, based on where the rider's weight is. And I'm really not sure why you said "no" as you're agreeing with me.

Hahaha, you guys are retarded.

If you don't like it, don't ride it.

What I said was completely sarcastic, obviously hating something for being innovative is stupid.
