That's pretty awesome. I'm sure I've seen something similar before.

Be interesting to see how big the concept could physically be for load carrying capabilities 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

Brilliant but where is the toilet roll holder? I'm pretty sure that my bum would be twitching the first time I tried setup out.

That's cool but it's not suspension it's lockers and mega low gearing.

for articulation my view is long travel suspension is great but it needs weight acting on it. a locker with supple but not excessive suspension works really well.

for speed suspension is everything. will try and find a video clip of our first suspension test on build car. Cheers
