>>1092603the differences between the geometry and construction of the two products suggests you don't actually know what you're talking about.
let's take a look at some numbers, shall we?
Size Large

>Trance 15>Scout 20Fork travel, stock, mm
>Trance 150>Scout 140Shock travel, stock, mm
>Trance 140>Scout 125so we can see here the Trance is a little longer and a little higher center of gravity than the Scout and the Scout is a bit lower to the ground with less travel and shorter chainstays. we can deduce from these numbers that the Trance is better suited to 'plowing through shit' and the Scout is more apt to 'flicking over shit', of course depending on what the rider actually wants to do with either or is what will actually happen.
just because that 4-bar linkage gives them a similar silhouette doesn't mean they perform the same way on the trail, you absolute dingus.
