This new technology promises more control and efficiency, reducing fatigue so riders can travel over rougher terrains.

Peter Stuart

The STR’s rear suspension comes at a cost on price, a small weight penalty and perhaps aesthetic appeals, I’d consider those trade-offs to be a reasonable exchange for the broad performance gains on offer

Pros
  1. +Better ride quality
  2. +More ride versatility
  3. +Better all-around performance
  4. +Impressive comfort across all terrain
Cons
  1. -Added complexity
  2. -Increased price
