tr450s are sick but the truth is theyre just glorified single pivots. sessions are way sicker imo

yeah same here i dont look into it that much. if youre gonna dish out that much dough on a frame tho, look at the 2011 devinci wilsons those are SICK

the transitions are dialed! and they arent a glorified single pivot. gee atherton and many others use single pivots, when they designed carefully, they work very well....

lol we already have 3 and we are guna have 5 2011 demos locally by the time winters over, im not gettin one too haha. i dont rly like transition but idk bout the tr450. looks nice so ill have to try it out. im not a big fan of how sessions feel tho they look nice. its about 10 months til im gunna even buying a frame so who knows, a sick new frame mite come out

yeah but who cares? id still get a demo if everyone i rode with had one theyre sick bikes. and im not sayin theres not any good single pivots out there, but a bike with an fsr or dw linkage is prob gonna feel nicer

ehh idk bout that last statement... i like single pivot much more than dw and i like some single pivots more than some fsr... but in my books FSR is the best

whatever works best for you its pretty much all personal pref and with all the awesome frames in the market, its almost impossible not to find something you like

there definatley not single pivot look at the frame if it was a single pivot there would be one barring or pivot that is moving when you compress the shock but there is multiple pivot points on tose frames when you compress the shock miss use of the word single pivot

it has a link do you no see that there is more then one pivot if it has a link and no shit look at his suspension and its a kona trust me that tr450 is going to feel better then your bike

hahaa this is what i get for trying to sound smart. and yes that tr450 is definately better than my bike im not gonna deny it

the bottlerocket is a single pivot, but uses links to activate the shock. bikes like the transitions and konas use these link to tune shock leverage ratio, but how the wheel moves up/away is because of the single pivot. these kinds of bikes' wheel path is only defined by the pivot above the bb, whereas a dual link style bike, such as a VPP bike use 2 links that rotate and they both define the wheel path and activate the shock.
