Not before time some will say, but don't fret all you Patriot lovers, it seems to be a long way off yet.

Nowt wrong with single pivot. Fair enough, multi link pro-pedal technology may be better on the climbs but I still feel that single pivot is still more than competitive when it comes to big hits on the DH runs. In fact, I think a stanard shocked Patriot is as good, if not more responsive than a Kona or the like. All debends on what you like.
