AS numbers are very similar, but you have to take into account the gearing... 34T on the Kross and 32T on the Giant (This time it's a fair comparison because the wheels are different).<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Tony.

The smallest one it's moving the rear wheel up and it's more accurate, even if it doesn't take into account the movement of the contact patch... There are a lot of ways to measure PK but even if some methods are better than the others, if you use the same method all the time you can get a good idea of what's going on.<br /><br />In real life PK it's a big problem, even for the bikes that have very low numbers, but it's a problem without an easy solution, so there is nothing you can do. You can go with very low numbers and sell the bike as a "Rock Crawler" but 90% of the people are going to dismiss it because Anti-squat is crazy low... You need a very well informed public and a very special brand image to make it work, Knolly it's probably the best example that I can think right now.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Tony.

Propain didn't fit in, except as contrast. :D<br /><br />Antonio - I have a general question not specific to this bike, but in regards to understanding the pedal kickback values (and why sometimes you do not show the "frame" value): <br />- the blue line depict the rear axle remaining fixed (fork not compressing), while the rear of the frame dips as it goes through its travel?<br />- the green/frame line depicts the frame staying level and the rear axle coming off the ground upward along its axle path?<br /><br />In real world, high kickback produces the "pedal-reactive" feel that some reviewers like Guy Kesteven on the Tallboy LTc seem to favor? People who like Rocky Mtn bikes favor the "pedal-neutral" feel?<br /><br />Based on demos and correlating the feel, I get the impression that low blue makes for natural/comfortable feeling DH, and low green is good for lightweight sit-and-spin climbers. High green is good for those that put out high bursts of pedal power and like a hardtail-like feel. High blue is just plain bad? So it helps explain why something like YT with very low blue and moderate green (under 10 deg for 100% travel), is very desireable? Or why RM Instinct climbs so lightly and effortlessly in saddle despite low anti-squat? Just wondering if kick-back is not emphasized enough, possibly due to lack of understanding.Varaxishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023879394337649379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650400550712092979.post-44657707539499050242015-11-12T23:42:10.648+01:002015-11-12T23:42:10.648+01:00Pues seguramente, pero mientras Kross no intente v...Pues seguramente, pero mientras Kross no intente vender sus bicis en USA no creo que tengan ningun problema. En teoría Santa Cruz tiene patentes en todo el mundo sobre su sistema, pero en Europa hay varias marcas que utilizan sistemas parecidos y nunca se han atrevido a plantear una demanda. En USA sin embargo cualquiera que intente algo remotamente parecido tiene su correspondiente demanda, como le pasó a Yeti...<br /><br />Un saludo.Antonio Osunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075236093614144240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650400550712092979.post-83012168240779211602015-11-11T10:57:27.216+01:002015-11-11T10:57:27.216+01:00Antonio, no hay ningún problema de patentes con el...Antonio, no hay ningún problema de patentes con el sistema de la foil? me refiero a que el link inferior gira en sentido horario y el superior en antihorariro?allausashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996350449148427023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650400550712092979.post-6760498451239086172015-11-10T23:42:43.527+01:002015-11-10T23:42:43.527+01:00Pues estuve a punto de meter a Yeti SB5C en la com...Pues estuve a punto de meter a Yeti SB5C en la comparativa porque también es un poco de este estilo pero al final preferí incluir las dos opciones de geometría de la Kross. El tema en este caso es que han apurado muchisimo la geometría, sobre todo en el eje de pedalier. 26/15 de Drop es mucho para un cuadro con 130mm de recorrido y creo que mucha gente va a acabar utilizandola en la posición alta solo por ese detalle, aunque otra opción muy buena sería colocarle una horquilla un poco mas larga.<br /><br />En la posición baja el funcionamiento es realmente bueno y creo que está un poco por encima de la Intense y la Santa Cruz... en la posición alta el funcionamiento ya es casi idéntico al de la SC Solo. Para el año que viene tal vez saquen una nueva versión de la Moon, sería lo mas lógico pero ahora mismo no hay ninguna información.<br /><br />Un saludo.Antonio Osunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075236093614144240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650400550712092979.post-85305883779905146342015-11-09T21:37:33.807+01:002015-11-09T21:37:33.807+01:00Qué curiosas las similitudes del AS con las Yeti S...Qué curiosas las similitudes del AS con las Yeti SB y qué diferentes el BS y el LR (yo tengo una SB66). ¿Sabes Antonio si van a sacar algo similar en el rango de 140/150 mm?
