Under power engine load causes the suspension to resist compression. Lowering the arm reduces the anti-squat characteristic and allows the suspension to work more "freely" under engine load. It should improve suspension dampening under power and increase traction under power which is essentially what they claim. Pretty much opposite of what they are trying to accomplish with MTB rear suspension to prevent pedal bob.
