What about it looks make the beast with two backsed up?
Looks totally functional to me.
On first view, I thought that the back-leaning angle of the pushrod would make the linkage prone to binding. Looking at it now I think that's unlikely and it's probably just progressive linkage, although I have some concerns that the curve may rise too much. |

I'm no expert on suspension geometry, but that linkage on the swinger looks kinda f'ed up to me.
Then why say anything?  |

Maybe he was hoping for an explanation? You gotta admit, it IS a pretty funky design.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

The design is a very slight rising rate. The pushrod angle vs rocker angle vs shock angle naturally make it get stiffer as it compresses also.
Without tuning it seems to be working rather well. I still need to have the shock pressurized though.

is that how stiff the rear should be? i always thought 25 mm sag. not sure if its just a lack of a visual vertical reference point thats making me think its stiff. or maybe my 25mm is a lame soft street measurement and your more track oriented.
looks the goods either way man, well done

It's a community/forum that is a phone app created by Ducati. Pretty cool, you see the big wigs on there and find out new things to do with Ducati very quick.
