Hey 30 40 is older to me, I'm almost 18. Funny how dad is over 61 though, mum is almost 60

In MXA's test of the 2012 ktm 250 sx they highlight the difference between the linkage and non linkage from 2011. Basically once both systems are set up for the rider/track they are on par with each other. It is just that most of the time the linkage system can be suited to the rider in a matter of clicks where as the non linkage would sometimes need a spring change, as swapper said, the linkage works better over a wider range of conditions where non linkage is more fussy to spring rates etc

If I had to guess, I would say alot of the above characteristics are due to the longer and shorter shock strokes respectively.
