We have a 2024 Optic C2 on order for my wife, and having done some extra post purchase research (the best way to do it right?) have seen one notable fairly negative review from GearLab that focused on the idler mechanism being a PITA, causing chain derailments and complicated trail side disassembly (and generally disparaging the rear suspension design).
Most of the user reports I’ve seen have been extremely positive in the bike though. Is this a widespread issue or did that one publication have an unusual experience?

I have the high pivot Norco Sight. Never had an issue in 2500km of riding with the idler on mine.
