Mate nekdo nejake zkusenosti s SPV na Meride XC Mission? Asi budu muset koupit novy tlumic, Merida i v krame rikaji jak je to super, ale recenze nic moc. Tak nevim… (a nenabizejte mi DT)
"On the long-travel Trans Mission we felt that the SPV shock was compensating for theoretical deficiencies in the rear suspension layout, specifically that without it we'd expect a fair bit of squat under power and general mushiness. Those traits aren't in evidence here either, but we're not convinced of the merits of SPV on such a short-travel bike. With just 80mm of travel to play with at most you end up running the shock quite hard to avoid running out of travel. With a firm shock you don't get much movement under power anyway. The SPV does mitigate the short travel a bit by refusing to travel more than it needs to for any given hit, but you're still going to bottom out 80mm of travel earlier than 100 or 120.
The end result is that you end up riding the Mission like a hardtail, weighting the front to get the most out of the fork. Indeed, with the racy setup it's hard to ride it any other way. You still get a traction benefit from the rear suspension but the necessarily firm setup and SPV kind of works against the sensitivity promised by the low swingarm pivot and low leverage ratio. We actually preferred the ride of the Trans Mission – the extra travel lets you run a softer setup but the SPV keeps it stable, so it doesn't feel any less lively."
