Descend
Brake late and hard into a steep, loose chute and the bike stays planted — no skipping, no pitching you over the bars. You hold your line, and your nerve.
Anti-rise is held near 49% at sag and trends lower toward bottom-out, so braking forces neither lock the rear solid nor jack it down under you. A mildly rearward axle path lets the rear wheel move up and back through square-edge hits instead of fighting them. The chassis keeps its attitude instead of pitching forward — more grip, more control on steep, loose terrain.

What it governs
- Anti-rise — how braking forces load the suspension. Kept sub-100% throughout so the rear never jacks down or locks solid under hard braking.
- Axle path — the arc the rear wheel travels. Rearward early to absorb square-edge hits rather than hanging up on them.
- Leverage curve — near-linear (~2% progression) so grip and support stay consistent through the stroke — easy to tune with air or coil.
