This is why the Begode Master Suspension WAS terrible.

The Begode Master has terrible suspension because the suspension geometry is poorly designed for this application and the stock shock no shock really is capable of fixing it.

EDIT: after releasing this video Begode release the CAD files for an updated suspension Geometry/Kinematics. I have not yet had a chance to test these, but I hope to 3D print them soon to see how they fit:

The Master has 70mm of vertical wheel travel and 21mm of shock travel, yielding an atrocious 3.33:1 'wheel to shock ratio.' A somewhat normal mountain bike has an approximate 2.5:1 ratio. The lower the ratio number, the lighter spring rate, the higher the stronger.

There basically are very few quality spring options that can support the incredibly high spring rate that would be required by an EUC and a symbolic 220lb rider. The stock air spring certainly cannot support it. So Master owners universally end up over inflating the stock shock, and I doing so ruin the shock's performance in every capacity.

The Master should be a serious contender in any discussion on 'the best wheel on the planet,' but the terrible suspension makes any such claims impossible.

The only real solution is to correct the suspension linkages geometry.
