Hey guys,
I'm going through the process of tuning a Fox X2 on my Banshee Titan, and I'm experiencing a familiar lack of support that I was also feeling on my old Commencal Furious. It seems that there are widely varied perspectives on that shock, with some people complaining about the same thing and others saying its da best evar.
I'm starting to explore other suspension options and while it seems like its primarily a Fox vs. Rockshox game on the large volume air shock side, the coil shock side is increasingly crowded and confusing. I've read things that lead me to believe that the Fox DHX2 sucks because of faults in the twin-tube damper design, Ohlins is unreliable and expensive, DVO runs too large of a shaft and too much bladder pressure, EXT is awesome but expensive and limited service options, Push is crazy money and also only available for certain bike (not my Banshee), Rockshox stock tunes suck but Vorsprung can make them better, etc.
All of this info is kind of scattered all over the place, and I imagine its helpful to have a single thread where people can turn for general rear shock pros/cons, rider experiences, etc.
So, speak up guys - what do you like, what do you not, and why?
