Matthew.K Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Im graduating from roadie to mtb after 30 years, but have never kept up with the techno side, so ive been looking, what is the ,if any, major diffirance in handling / feel between a mtb fitted with a vertical mount shock, or a horizontal one. .?Just an interesting point, in the 80's motorbikes went from 2 vertical mounts to one horizontal, it really smoothed the ride, no pogo bouncing.Test Ride,Test Ride;Test Ride..... ....Close eyes and swipe credit card

Long Wheel Base Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 The orientation of suspension makes zero difference, the set up makes more difference. F1 cars have had shocks in all orientations, same with rock climbing buggies etc.Wonder if a different shock would have helped Lando Noris on Sunday?
Sbloomer Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 depends on the stroke. The longer the stroke the more vertical comes into its own Yup agreed. I get more vertical the longer I stroke.
MudLark Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 lets also not forget. if the bike cannot take 2 bottles its shyte Maybe. From the factory, mine can only take one bottle but now it can take three, quite comfortably and even for at a push. And no, they don't fall out… :-) But generally I don't find need for more than two.
Pure Savage Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Wonder if a different shock would have helped Lando Noris on Sunday? He was just braking too much, thats why he wasnt in the lead. He is the best driver on istagram.
Leon O Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Yup agreed. I get more vertical the longer I stroke.I see this is gonna go South, no, North is vertical, anytime now

usxorf Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 If you're riding downhill, then is vertical still vertical?
