I rode a horse for a little while but never really got on with it.
Super low maintenance. Single pivot on needle rollers sealed with dual layer mx seals. Needs to be serviced once a year.
Built in chain guide works sweet is silent and gives good chainline.
Rearward axle path means it canters through rough stuff and can accelerate as wheel moves away from impact.
Customer service from Empire is immense and another reason i chose it!
Oh and the CCDB set up right is a step ahead other shocks!
