An honest report and lets face it, where urt is concerned theres been a lot of bolox spoken about how amazing it was.
Mind you, that is normal for the industry.
Hope have been increasing the brake power by 15% each new model.
Currently all hope brakes are 1500% more powerful that C2's

I thought it was quite well-balanced; the one thing that never gets mentioned, though, is that a URT design alters the BB-saddle distance whilst active. If you're sat pedalling and it's doing that, surely it feels weird?

Very good article. Very good indeed.
I still like my Szasbo for all the reasons mentioned in the article. And I have a 120mm fork in my Mantra to deal with the head angle
I am still the guy that like uphill as much as downhill...
The saddle changing height is a little bit odd at first. But you get used to it very fast.
The biggest problem is the brake jack. It will throw you over the bars if you don't know it. Better keep your ass low and back if you want to downhill those bikes. Or just go a bit slower, if that's an option :roll:

Good stuff.
Many people have no idea and just class URT as a load of rubbish, ignorant to what it was actually designed for. I came across an article in a 1996/7/8? MBUK a while back that explained all the current rear suss designs and clearly stated that URT was designed for people who didn’t think they wanted rear suspension. It works if used as intended.
