I have a single pivot frame with 3 travel options (9 inches, 8.5 and 7.8). In the 9 inch travel mode, the ratio is 3 to 1. I use this bike for both dh (in 9 inch mode), and freeride in 7.8 inch. I am getting one of the afore mentioned shocks (no im not interested in any other shock). which would be better. I think the rocco would be plusher (no platform), and i like the simplicity (not a ton of adjustments) but the 08 dhx has the ability to turn the prpedal off, and would come in handy whn freeriding (cause i will have to pedal at points). they are the same price, so money is null. so, which one ?
