Which is a better set up for racing? TT1/2 swing arm with the central "monoshock" style (aluminum or Crmo) or F1/851/888 aluminum swing arm with reinforced truss and upper rocker arm suspension? |

Both the cantilever and the rising rate have their advantages. The cantilever as used on the TT and F1 are lighter and work best on smoother tracks. The rising rate as used on the Monsters and 851/888 are better on rougher tracks. Yellow bike #1 had rising rate and Yellow bike #2 has cantilever, where I notice the biggest difference is a Grattan Race Track going from the back hairpin up the hill to the front straight. With the rising rate it help smooth the bumps going up the hill and I could be harder on the throttle. Both systems work and a good "well tuned" shock is needed for either. Palmer |
