Review: TruTune Suspension Inserts Unlock More Travel
Surely this is the wrong way round.
Create something to solve a problem caused by another solution to a problem.
If this works as it's meant to, why not add this tech to the normal sized negative spring thereby giving you all the nice soft squishy start, leave a nice big mostly linear positive spring that you can then tune the end progression with tokens...

Field Test: 2022 Intense Tracer S - Energy & Speed
"Linkage hardware requires monitoring" its a no from me, this should not be an issue in 2022 and should not be confined to the last "Con". More should be said in the article about this.

First Look: All-New Bird Aeris 9
aren't they just! working in the industry for 12 years and have had all sorts of exotica, but the AM9 is BY FAR the best riding bike I've owned. its not even funny how much better it is in pure performance terms and when you take the cost side in it makes you wonder about the rest of the industry.

if its half as good as the AM9, it'll be a belter. some nice features and Geo adjust that might make me consider a frame swap

Needs to be a rule that the format can't be portrait. Got fed up with squinting at my phone and switched it off.
