[QUOTE="terry hay, post: 707209, member: 48273"] SVI We can only guess as to what was the real reason behind the introduction of the PDS shock. It was obviously not superior performance that persuaded KTM to employ the product in their bikes. Simple side by side testing would have shown that it wasn't as good as a linkage setup. There were other performance benefits that were made possible by having an offset shock that perhaps swayed their decision. Power gains that created truly impressive rewards for 125 pilots. Smoother power delivery for the 250, 300, 380 riders. Without doubt KTM now makes the japs look pretty ordinary when it comes to 2stroke motors. I guess when you look at the big picture the PDS decision was not just one of suspension performance. Another viewpoint; Perhaps the concept was adopted with an ongoing commitment from WP for product development. I mean, to be fair to WP we have seen upgrades every year since its inception. As for the future of the PDS shock. BMW are now using the shock on some of their latest bikes so perhaps WP are not ready to throw the towel in just yet. Given the lower rates of change in the leverage ratios of road bikes maybe the PDS will find a new home. Regards Terry [/QUOTE]
