If we're talking about slamming a burmed corner, then as both wheels move backwards in their travel(forks compressin+rearward rear wheel travel)the riders COG is moved forward in relation to the wheels, the back wheel has less weight on it, and therefore less traction/feel, as the suspension rebounds the bikes wheels move forward in relation to the general mass(frame+rider). I think this is all a near negligable amount though, and the main part that can be felt is the rear not feeling as weighted and less rear traction/feel.Eh?Please explain??????
High pivots just don't feel like they turn quicker if you slam them into corners like low pivots do, because on a low pivot the wheelbase and chainstay are shortening.
I'm sure having the riders weight shifted forward counter acts the lengthening chainstays a bit by making the fork dive more steepening steering and shortening wheelbase but this is nit picking, and bike set up would make much more difference, or tyre pressure or skin suitnot
