Does anyone know what difference it makes moving the rear suspension linkage from flat to progressive? I asssumed that the bikes would come set up for the road but perhaps not?
Hi Ben

I've got mine on progressive and I haven't yet experienced any problems. The only handling issue I've noticed is a tendency to move about when there is a cross wind. I put that down to the diminutive weight of the bike.

Whether you have it on P or F I still think it a good idea to get the suspension set up for your weight. There is likely to be a value of 20Kg or more range of weights for different riders. That gives a significant difference for the suspension to accommodate and will only become more noticeable as g force on long sweeping curves kicks in.
