Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 24, 2014 Share Oh, I see it was like this before:http://sales.brick7.co.za/media/za/329001_329100/329096_272903b186fe22a0.jpg No Idea why they changed it, probably did some R & D and came up with Maestro which worked better? That's still Maestro, afaik. Just a different shock positioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droo Posted July 25, 2014 Share That's still Maestro, afaik. Just a different shock positioning. Yup. They just changed the orientation of the shock to make more space in the main triangle. Having the wiper seal at the bottom also means that it's constantly lubricated. Kinematics are pretty close to the newer Maestro, just a few tweaks to the rocker linkage.

Down tubes are quite thin walled in that area. Maybe they encountered problems with the old design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
