New Kind of Torque Arm?

Looking to upgrade my torque arm, and wanted to know if anyone had any input or experience with this one.

It does have some technical advantages over the typical TA - it allows much more anti-squat without giving you the extra dose of brake hop that other TA's give (especially the short ones). I think that some adjustment is necessary, but nothing difficult.

It's been around for a little while now, so it isn't exactly a brand-new product on the market.

Thanks. I figured it wasn't "brand new", but it was new to me. It sounds like it should work well, I just wanted to know if anyone had any input on it.

Now that I've thought about it a bit, this decoupled TA is sort of related to some of the things that some of the roundy-round racers use. Every once in a while I stumble across this link to some circle-track tech, and sometimes I even remember where it was I put it.

Here's a link to a fairly detailed collection of info for circle track running. It breaks down handling issues within 5 different parts of a turn - entry, cut zone, mid, acceleration zone, and exit.

Have fun translating the terms.
