2008 axle paths - “The rune has a more rearward axle path to make the bike more stable at speed over rough terrain than the other 2 bikes in the VF4B range, as this it more important for a trail riding / light freeride bike. The pedaling efficiency will still be great by using chain tension to help reduce pedal bob, all tho there will be slightly more pedal kickback than the other designs (partially because of having more travel). “
