That was the "telelever" type thing wasn't it? Never even saw one, let alone rode one.

Ah, you have form ...MingtheMerciless wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 2:22 pm Best front end for XC was the PRST-1 funny front end, it was so supple and just hoovered up small trail chatter, it did struggle as the pace was upped or you pointed down hill but apparently they had a long travel system in development that was working well but Whyte axed the project.
I've ridden a few Santa Cruz's and they usually have a nice poppy/lively feel on the trail, certainly my mates like them (Bronson's, Nomads and a Hightower) the only one that was a bit "soft" was MegaTower demo I rode, if I remember correctly was a bit hoovery and blunted the trail (but it was ridiculous travel for the Sarf Dahns) and it was fitted with a cheap shock that I nearly destroyed on a chalky flinty down hill hitting a big square edge at about 40 and it blew through its travel and a nasty metal on metal clunk was felt that set my teeth on edge.

Ah OK - I didn't realise "Pro-Link" and "Unit Pro-Link" were different things...the latter is the one which they came up with for MotoGP and which first appeared (on the road) on the CBR600RR...which is still probably the best looking Japanese sportsbike IMO BTW.
Unit Pro-Link is the one where it looks like the top of the shock isn't attached to the frame.
