This is a joke, right ?

Those plunger sprung rear suspension units can get in a knot with barely 30 hp !.

If you look closely, factory plunger framed race bikes at some of the rougher tracks had little hydraulic damper units fitted. Without them, the rear suspension is little more than a glorified pair of pogo sticks. And only the axle to keep them synchronised....


And in case you haven't met these brazed plunger frames, they are a trifle prone to cracking in various inconvenient places with rough treatment. More hp would not assist here. But being brazed meant any village blacksmith could repair them.....
