Looks like most of the big names are running the mullet, except the Santa Cruz boys and Amoury, there aren’t that many more on the full 29? I suppose most privateers and smaller teams running the older Supreme. In contrast I think there will also be very few full 27.5 bikes still out there too...
I think height is going to be deciding factor for most riders. I can barely keep a 29er out of my ass on a trail bike...

Totally. Rode a 29 Demo last season in Whistler and was getting my ass buzzed like crazy. Had to change my riding technique. Would love to run mullet but Specialized wont make the linkage available to run it proper.

Looks like the new rock shox fork will be named ZEB :) [img]https://p.vitalmtb.com/photos/forums/2020/04/01/9415/s1200_zeb1.jpg[/img]

So I was thinking...Pikes Peak in Colorado is named for ZEBulon Pike. So, i wonder if theres any correlation between the naming. ZEB/Pike. Maybe its nothing but coronaboredom got my mind going weird places.
The HV aircan isn't great for progressive bikes because the air spring requires much more pressure to get enough support at sag and in early to mid stroke (due to starting at higher leverage ratios). That higher spring rate then makes it difficult to use deeper travel.
Where as a linear bike that starts out with a lower leverage rate and requires much more end stroke support will benefit from the higher overall pressure build up whilst being able to remain sensitive in the early part of the stroke thanks to the higher negative volume
Thats been my experience with the Topaz anyway but everyone is unique and what works for me wont work for others

DVO isn't this larger volume shock seen at sedona, is it?

The HV can has been on the reign and hail bikes for 18months but I think it’s only just become available as an aftermarket product.
The topaz 2 comes with HV can.
Not progressive? I love the topaz on my C Balance.. My 18 tracer doesn't like it...
