Такой вот ответ от трека, если кто понял напишите))
Понятно что без «поплавка» больше места для большого амортизатора, на какая разница именно в работе подвески из письма не очень понятно. Видимо комфорт и большая чувствительность, про брейкскват ни слова вроде.
Собственно ответ:
Thanks for writing into Trek! We developed Full Floater to address performance constraints associated with the air shocks that were available at that time. Since then, mountain bike shocks have evolved. More dynamic and responsive dampers, along with more refined air springs like EVOL and Debonair, offer the performance benefits our engineers sought to achieve with Full Floater. Using a fixed lower shock mount opens up the lower frame area, giving us more opportunity to design stronger, stiffer frames and chainstays. This also gives us more flexibility to accommodate larger, more capable shocks. All of these effects are experienced most dramatically on long travel bikes, like the Slash. The Slash is more of a park/Enduro race bike so the added stiffness if beneficial, this is one of the reasons full floater has gone away from the Session as well. Hope that helps a bit, but please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks
