It would have zero effect.

You can achieve even better results not with the inferior O-Chain product, but by merely switching to a better chain lubricant.

I’m a bit surprised by the results supposedly not being beneficial. I know I saw one review but they were trying to use it to quiet the motor rattle not necessarily improve suspension. If the hecklers really high anti squat is what leads it to be harsh (kickback) I’d think the o chain would make a bigger improvement on bikes like it vs others.
