Has anyone noticed that the two links are what makes the so called virtual pivot used by santacruz & intense? Karpiel & canfeld bros were using this design years before the big names jumped on it & gave it their own name... Bender is a legend & he can ride with style on single track, & he's fast too. It's guys like him that pushed the bounderies in the hey day of our sport. He's good at what he does if a litle mental. Things have obviously progressed now, with bikes & the riding that is possible. Bender didn't have foam pits!
