Please giant,

Can you release a mullet version of the carbon linkage, so we can install 27.5 at the rear without dropping the BB so much?
Ideally, please release a carbon linkage with a flip chip that would allow people to switch between 29 and 27.5 rear at will!
Give options to your customers!

Please, pretty please?

Maybe you can increase shock stroke lenght, afaik it is 60mm and it can be increased to 62,5 or 65mm by removing spacer. Than rear travell would increase accordingly to 152 or 158mm. That would increase bb height and also hta will not slacken down so much. Just an idea...

Increasing the shock stroke does not change the eye - eye length, so it will not change the bb height or the head tube angle.

You can definitely mullet it. 170mm fork will raise your bb enough to keep it from being too low. It will be much slacker and a bit slacker on the seat tube angle. But you can mitigate that by slamming your saddle forward.
I’d say give it a try

I think you want to be begging Cascade components.

That said, my money is on the next Reign (not Reign 29) coming in as a mullet standard.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.

I’m a little surprised they went dual crown on the SX. Guess we won’t be seeing a new Glory for awhile

Haha. The SX looks like a cool bike. Wish I needed a rig like that.
