I haven't done actual measurements on one, but the rocker is quite long, so I suspect not much progressivity.


Did some rough measurements of the only 851-style frame I've got at hand.
The rocker isn't really all *that* long.

So, I think it'll still be fairly progressive, but not as progressive as the ST/SBK style.

A definitive answer will require measurements that I can't do right now.

You know, Neil Spalding's book "Moto GP Technology" mentions some teams using regressive shock rate linkages. I don't understand this stuff real well except for setting up what I'm given by the suspension tech.

Anyone able to shed some light on this?
