Yep, we don't list them on our website because we do not believe, based on our testing, that they are the best bang for the buck.

We did all our testing, to see if there really were some viable options out there that would improve suspension for our own bikes, and possibly some Customer bikes.

When we completed the testing, we decided, based on the test results, what suspension components we wanted to carry. I don't remember if we had the products on our website first, or the reports on our website first...whichever way it was, it was within a couple of weeks of each other.

SINCE our original testing & report, we have worked with PA to develop the 14" shocks, and after getting those designed and dialed in, we added them to our website and our report.

We are Currently doing more shock testing, when we are finished, in the next month or so, we will be updating the report again. In the upcoming update we will be including the following items that some folks have consistently requested.

Bump Recorder data and graphs, which show, objectively, the difference in compliance between different components.

Ohlins and Legend (and possibly some others) results, because some folks assume we did not test them, even though we state in our report that we are not listing components tested that did not make the $ to benefit grade.

Info that we can get virtually any suspension component that a person wants, even if it is not one that we recommend as the best value per $ spent.

I am not sure what else we will put in the report...am open to suggestions.


I do not want it to be so long that folks look at it and there is so much data that their eyes glaze over and don't read any of it.

The key thing we do is make the best possible parts (almost everything we make has a Lifetiime warranty) and for parts we don't make, we only recommend (carry on our site) items that we believe are the best, items we run on our own bikes. To do that, we do a lot of testing, otherwise, how would we know?

As you can imagine, testing so many different suspension components, on so many different bikes/trikes, is very time consuming...then compiling all the data, even more time. But we'll get the updated Report out soon after we complete our current round of testing.

btw, PA knows we are not "married" to them. Our first loyalty is to our Customers, to give them the best options. PA knows that if they don't keep their game up, and something better comes along, we have no choice but to be honest and do what's right by our Customers.

 

Right on. Thanks for the explanation.
