My riders don't use them on 19s/20s. Call and ask what performance gains you get. Putting a known good setting in shock is money better spent imo.

Agree with Mark. The 19/20 chassis doesn’t really need a link. I tried one and it made the rear end too low. Stock link worked much better for me personally

The Precision Concepts team all run the Links. They tested both ways, and all the team riders said it was better with the link. Of course, they are running off road, not moto, but all their riders also do a lot of moto testing. Zach Bell was pretty good on a moto track.... When I had them do my suspension for off road, they were adamant that the link was noticeably better.

I went back and forth last season several times and really like the link. It makes the rear feel lower at first but the shock seems to handle square edge better. I'd recommend it
