no-link or CR500 link ?

[LT250RMan]

What do you guys think is better for MX, a no-link or a CR500 link set up ?

[GOTFEAR]

i have a no-link and its sweet. i had both setups and love the no-link

[doc-bones]

I have both. Both work extremely well. I give slight advantage to CR500 linkage in the rough stuff and big jumps.

[bushwesl]

How do they compare to the stock link?

[doc-bones]

There is no comparison between them.... Stock link is very inferior in every way.

KOQ no link is the best I have ever ridden, way better then the other 2

[LT250RMan]

I'm going to buy a no-link or CRF450 link PRP frame this fall, I want the best rear suspension set up for MX. I need something that can handle big jumps and does'nt beat the crap out of me in the woops. What are the advantages and disadvantages of both set ups ?

[250Renvy]

Don't you think it depends on how well the shock is setup in any of the options?

i have a koq and a fox one one its awesome but i also have an axis on a stock link but i like the no-link better never ridden cr500 tho but in xc racing the no-link is awesome

What do you mean you have a KOQ and a fox one ??? Are you talking about a stock frame with the factory shock mount and just a no-link swingarm ??

[chawness]

The CR500 link is better. Back in the day that is what ALL the pro's used. When I sold my Laegers Pro-Trax it didn't bring as much money because it had the no-link frame and swinger. Nobody wanted that setup...

Our KOQ is on a stock geometry frame with the bottom link mount removed, it uses a 13 5/8 inch shock, and we are getting almost 13 inches of wheel travel, this is the best by far, system we have ever used.

Did LSR ever make a CR500 link frame/swinger combo?

No they only made no-link and stock link frames.

[doc-bones]

Trust me, I have had 3 no-link set-ups and 3 cr500 link set-ups. Both are awesome, however cr500 link is slightly superior! The only advantage to no link is in gncc where clearance can be an issue! Both set-ups are top notch. Axis shocks will make the difference also!!! Narrow frames will also be a large improvement over stock geometry!!

[paul_700]

This maybe a dumb question but does the cr500 setup require a specialty frame to fit the linkage or will it bolt into a stock frame with the cr500 link , shock , and swingarm?

[LT250RMan]

No, you need to buy a aftermarket frame.
