[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1182066, member: 1755"] I think you're right. I'm betting they just tweaked the whole front just a little. Going from 12 (Gen1) to 13 (Gen2) wouldn't take much. Suspension travel is AFAIK measured at the hub and is done by cycling from full droop to full bump. So for example on the Gen1 there's 12.1" of travel up front, but it uses a shock with an 8" stroke, so shock stroke doesn't tell the whole story there. There's also different travel numbers that get cited in the off-road community. Basically total travel vs usable travel. Total travel would be the farthest extent the suspension can cycle, so metal to metal contact at both extents. Usable travel is the number you'll actually be able to put to use without binding or metal to metal contact. [/QUOTE]
