PLUSH! Rockshox Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate FIRST RIDE

Күн бұрын

The last piece of the puzzle for my Santa Cruz Megatower V2 has arrived! I originally tried to order a coil frameset but with no ETA on those I went with the X2 air, and I'm glad I did because the air shock works brilliantly (except it's now being warrantied, because Fox). But I'm a coil fan at heart and after the success I've had with the Zeb I was very keen to see how the SD coil performed.

Thanks mate, very impressed so far!

Put mine on today and found the same thing. More active than my Kitsuma air but still not bob heavy if you are a consistent cadence. Seems REALLY smooth!

I've never been a RS fan but after riding a ZEB Ultimate, I was very impressed. I've been looking for a rear coil, and I keep hearing this coil is very good and more budget friendly than the high-end stuff. I'm wondering if the new Push Industries SV8 is worth the price?

@@justsayin3600 I haven’t got experience with Push but the benefit is they tune the shock for your bike and your weight, so it should be easier to setup

Thats hectic! Appreciate the vid mcphee! You enjoying the RS all around at the moment? Hows the zeb going after a couple months? Still enjoying the ease of set up with less rebound adjustment?

Recently, I bought a spring shock because my X2 broke, I carry the normal RockShox super deluxe select on my ebike and I can tell you that I am not going back to the X2. The X2 is amazing but the coil is coil.

Where were you riding?

@troymortimer3487 6 ай бұрын

I’ve got the same coil but the 550 springdex (I’m 95kg) I’ve notice you just forget about the backend of the bike now. And now spend my time focusing on the front end. Which I think is good. But I think the coil is really only good when riding my rowdier trails. For more flowy trails I much prefer the air

@MTBMcPhee 6 ай бұрын

Yeah agree the air is a bit nicer on jumps and flow. I’ll probably look at getting a vivid down the line for that

How would you say this compares to the DHX2 on VPP linkage? Is the HBO worth the upgrade? I’m on a Bronson MX and have ran both DHX2 and the previous gen Rockshox SDU coil but I’m curious about the HBO and if it’s worth the upgrade.. I usually have to run a slightly stiffer spring to prevent bottom outs which kind of negates a lot of the coil benefit for me, but it seems like the new HBO might do the trick though!

@MTBMcPhee 5 ай бұрын

It makes a huge difference and as you say it lets you run a softer coil and more sag without the downside of bottoming out. I think it’s way better than the dhx2

@jStapez 6 ай бұрын

Any particular reason you decided to stick with the 62.5mm stroke length? Are you still running in the low setting?

@MTBMcPhee 6 ай бұрын

I’m sticking to the high position for now. And no particular reason other than I wanted the sag indicators on the rockshox to be accurate

@jStapez 6 ай бұрын

I should really try the high position. But I've honestly gotten on so well with the low position from the start and have only had it overstroked to 65mm. The sag markings would be accurate if it's a 230x65mm shock from factory right?@@MTBMcPhee
