the silver looked way hotter... and why is the boxxer single air only? i wouldve thought dual air would give a broader range of adjustment...

Something cool that article neglected to mention... the Boxxer now has a Maxle-based axle, but instead of a QR lever, it uses a single 6mm allen key to tighten the whole system. No more pinchbolts and hub preloading... just insert the axle and tighten.
The new damping system sure looks interesting, it's about time they moved on from orifice damping.

Solo air is a dual-chamber system with bleed through, aimed to give a linear feel, I'm guessing dual air was too progressive to use over 8" of travel.

Because we mtbers are (generally) retards when it comes to setting stuff up so that it doesn't blow up. This sounds like a pretty cool idea IMO, half the hassle.
