The Awesomatix unique damper and spring setup is EXACTLY why the mid-motor conversion works so well for them. The progressive spring setup on the AMX is so good that it’s impossible to replicate using standard coil springs”.
I wouldn’t go rushing out buying a conversion just yet.
Bah humbug. Seriously that's complete nonsense. Yes the AMX has other good stuff but you do not need rotary shocks and leaf springs to benefit significantly from the mid motor equal belt length design. Zero logic to that notion.
