Seen on Facebook yesterday, the Proto V48 shock:
"Proto V48 getting some trail time under our engineer Dan, who might not actually be an engineer because he never starts sentences with "As an engineer....".
Standard eyelet and trunnion mount on the same reservoir bridge for testing. This is one part that will change significantly for production, to remove the redundant mounts, save weight, improve clearance and make it more aesthetically pleasing.
We haven't gone that route yet because the machining setup required is significantly more complicated and not something we want to have to revise while we're still testing function and locking down the damping geometry & configurations. This fairly blocky layout lets us make revisions much more easily for the sake of testing, but the production unit will not look anything like this.
Meanwhile, the stuff we can't show you is"
