Good question! Let me ask Txomin. He is head of the technical department. The first person to figure out how to pronounce his name gets a free t shirt!

We have a winner!
Cho-min.
I was told that in the Castillian Spanish dialect the TX is pronounced ch.
I guess that means that Texas would be Chexas! Ha!
Jay...send me your size and address and I will send you a t shirt. It may be a coupe of weeks before I get some more in.

Here was Txomin's reply on the linkage change:
Progression curve is more progressive like soft in the first parts of stroke and hard on the final parts
This will give more comfort and traction and less stress on bottom
Stroke comparison on shock is 125 mm for the old and 130 mm for the new (this give better control on the shock speed and more reliable shock)
Lenght of the shock is 427 mm for the old and 449 mm for the new (this increase the volume of oil and the distance between the two support of the piston to get better reliability on the shock)
Rear wheel stroke is 290 mm for the old and 300 mm for the new (this give better comfort on big jump)
Assembly system of the full link is made with better sealing component to decrease the necessity of maintenance (old one made by OR and new one made by sealing ring)

Thanks Clay, kinda what I figured. So are we to assume this is going to be on all the 2012s?

I haven't been told that it would but it makes sense that it will.
