Too bad they did'nt put the link style shock on the 2strokes. Maybe next year after they get some time on it.
They said that the two stroke perform better w/ the PDS than the linkage because of the manner the power is giving. Being that the 2011 two strokes did get a redesigned swing arm I believe they r telling the truth and not just lazy to put the linkage on them.
"Why PDS for the two-strokes?
The directly linked PDS shock has turned out to be the best solution for the two-strokes. Two-Strokes have a totally different engine characteristic than four-strokes and also a different centre of gravity. Many tests have proven that the PDS rear suspension fits better to the lighter and more nervous characteristics of the two-strokes. With the lighter PDS system, the two-strokes will keep a major weight benefit, also in the future."
