Clay we did it all today, teamwork.

Initial impressions on the motocross track is that the linkage is very noticeable. It felt much better than my previous model. Previously, when id hit the faces of steep jumps, or land hard the shock wouldn't slow down much. I felt like it would blow straight through unless I had a lot of compression clicked into it. With the new linkage, the bottoming out seemed to disappear and it was a much more progressive feel. Big day of testing tomorrow, dialing in forks with correct springs and a few other tricks. I'll be posting a video on my blog early next week. Also I'll have a report of the new moto tassenari v force 4 reed system.

Is the new linkage interchangable with the 2011 Race? New linkage and newshock maybe? Or do we just have to wait for the 2012's

Probably. The shock is a different length.

Think the frame is the same? Tough to say by a few frames of video, could be though. The Nambo part# is BE100002511. What is a standard '11 frame part#? Maybe color difference changes # too.

Looking at page 47 on the link I posted above. The frame is different. The dog bones mount to a tubular boss on the bottom of the frame.

This linkage look familiar? 2012 KXF.

There are only so many basic geometries. The Husky is similar too. I see it dragging more on technical obstacles as its lowest closer to the wheel, unlike the original that is lowest right at the frame. This along with the fork should make the bike even more versatile.

The good part is Gas Gas deleted the vertical brackets (at the rear engine mounts) for the linkage .

My Berg has no linkage! End of hi-jack
