[Closed] Specialized's Rear Suspension set up.Impressed! is it the best?

There's no 'best' suspension design. I have a Horst link & a single pivot - both work brilliantly, but both were vastly improved with a shock tune (tuned to [i]my[/i] liking you understand).

Northwind touched on to earlier talking about his Orange - you ride the one that makes you smile the most. Try lots out and short list a few to try again once you've got an idea of what you like.

Split Pivot, as far as pedalling goes, is a single pivot. The only difference is it's difference in distribution of braking forces.
