Please wash the fork before doing anything. What you see here is a Don't

I might be alone here but I love the mezzer pro damper. It just works, and is very predictable and easy to adjust. I used a lot of info found on MTBR to adjust the clickers and pressure.

your not heavy

Whats the difference between this and a SRsuntour Voro for half the price?

Sick video, I have always wondered about DVO, wasnt sure if it was some tacky brand! What shock would you recommend for a Megatower V2 for local level enduro racing/bikepark and black+ trail rides?

I hope you make a SR Suntour Auron 35 review. Pros and cons video. I have no complain about SR suntour forks honestly

I love mine and haven't had any issues. I like it better than the Zeb and 36 factory i have had. Plus the price right now is amazing. $550 new!

oh my. what a sophisticated bowl you have for your oil. love your narration btw.

I owned several dvo jade dh shocks on different bikes. Works quite well... for a few rides only. Afterwards, they must be bleed as they suck air in. Full service and rebuild does not help. Had to replace both of them. For coil shocks, IFP or bladder does not make any difference in term of performance. Note: im a over 100kg kitted riding very aggressivly. If you are lighter then may be you would have more luck with their bladders.

Full lockout copression? On my DVO Topaz, that setting is approaching locked out, and I have it set up for a big guy.

the metric system rules!

lol most unreliable suspension brand out there

Well...if the only thing negative PB could come up with is that it weighs 100g too much than that is a REALLY good review? I bad review would be "dont like range of damping" " dont like reliability" or other things that matter. i mean weight at this point is almost like saying you dont like the color. So I say PB did a great job and gave the shock some good ol praise.

i just bought a Jade X coil, it's not the prime but I am excited to try it.

I have the 22 jade x (185x55) with the 500 pounds LS spring on my trance X29 it's there since last October, since the dpx2 has left the chat. No regrets it's plush and active... *Absolutely no maintenance. Knocking on wood 😅

Dont you brake the rear shock linkage weekly? I had that shat kenevo. Broke it half 3-4 times and had to given it back… its for flats, seems like you know already… hence flats exclusively

There’s a lot of buts…

Wonder how the higher rate sprindex work on it goes up to 650 love your video's

I've been considering the RC2T. I weigh 200 pounds, 93kg. I didn't think the sensitivity of a coil mattered. Mainly considering the RC2T because of the bottom out resistance. But I don't really much drops. The largest usually are slightly over handlebar height and that's pretty rare. So I definitely would value sensitivity over possibly better bottom out resistance.

Something I've been looking at is coil shocks but man my heads burst with it already lol! Have been hearing good things about the Jade X but I have a trunion mount 205x65 float X jsut now just got a cracking deal on brand new 2024 X2 still want a coil though all I ran before family took over the free time 😂 now all changed

Comment for reach!

Please check out Intend. It a very small brand from germany but many say they are the most supple forks and shocks on the market. Also their stuff is just beautiful

Which emtbs are supported by dvo highend suspensions?

Be nice to see a cane creek db inline review ;)

rockshox continually delivers half baked products. I swapped most of their stuff to manutou a few years ago and have never looked back tbh. I still have bikes with RS on them but I am not a customer any more, just a former customer. I don't think RS makes bad products. Most can be fixed with some mods, but out of the box they are often either wierdly tuned or have some flaw that must be fixed for the suspension to work best. I have this exact shock also with springdex and I didn't find it particular great. I don't think Fox is great either though :)

Your friend did not have time to adjust it to his weight, riding and style and especcially not know how to do it exactly as He comes from RS, like you said about the rs fox crowd.

Why not just put a small zip tie around the shaft to see if you bottom out? You can measure sag with it too.

When is that rockshox vivid coil review comming?

Yoke bikes have too much flex and so much so Fox have went steal body on there coils instead of alloy, I found 2019 I went through 5 shocks Fox DHX2 coil factory, as they kept leaking from the top eyelet and the shock shaft was bending and then leaking from the seal head. So much so on the Specialized they dropped the coil and give the air shock fitment only. Fox give me a Fox X2 air factory and it was nearly there but for aeration of the oil but they changed the internals as a update so the seal heads piston etc was revised to the new 2024/25 mods and it's been great so far.

"so this coil shock isn't perfect"...... well which suspension is ? :D

I will say this test was a bad one. You should never use more then 2 rounds with preload. The initial force that you need to move the coil spring is then altered. The fact that you need a progressive spring, a lot preload and tons of HSC shows that it is not a fit for the Kenevo frame kinematic. At least in original tune.

Nice video could you do a review of intend hoover shock?

Hey, I just want to say (as a bike nerd aswell) I really enjoy you videos, I think I watched all of them already. Please keep it up, you are making the best (and honest) suspension videos on youtube! I think I came across your channel looking for someone doing the shimano 4pot with non-servowave levers swap. I love this kind of home mechanic nerdery! Thank you.

Would like to see a Formula Mod and a Cane Creek Kitsuma coil review next. The channel is great btw.

First

Maybe next time instead of claiming 10 things regarding which brand is good or not. you could inform us into what is that actual difference in performance that you allegedly see? the interview was horsing around with opinion. Ive had quite a few bikes and shocks and could tell you that performance is not the different between brands ... But i havent tested nearly enough.

I just got the como 4.0 IGH, I really love it but I agree it isn't very powerful, nevertheless I mostly use the motor to help me with climbs and when I am super tired and carrying a lot of weight. But it is a joy to ride, really love the bike!

So is it good or not

What settings for your weight did you end up with?

There ya go now yanhave a Fit4 damper! Grip X is the fit4 replacement but that's what the fit4 is like just has a wee lever for the 3 pos switch they simplified the design this time to a Grip2 type top! I remember you saying before on the oher 38s video you never seen a fit4 before lol

Just buy an old Yari and give it the debonair and 2.1 rc2 da,per Upgrade

You’re giving me very bad ideas with this video

Can't get enough of your vids. I think I can relate to your riding style from what you say...and I weight also around 210lbs...I have a Levo gen 3 with a Fox 38 Elite and a X2... Seems that I can't bring them to the ride quality of my other Enduro bike (Rockshox Zeb Ultimate Charger 3 (170mm) with coil shock at the rear). I have even rent two Shockwiz to help me to set them up, but I still have a feeling of harshness. I'm starting to think to switch them since I mostly use the Levo now. I'm beginning to think that the fight is uneven between both forks. I know I'm not giving you much data, but I would still like to know your opinion or direction to help me out.

Such a good fork

So what will you choose now. 38 or era 2.1? Or something different?

i actually wanted that camera lol, it has a wide angle lens at least. but my country imported and sold the rip-off ones here and flooded with those bullshits on the marketplace which you'll say that its much much worse than that. i mean it claims that it can record in 4K, but actually it is at 1920x1080 30FPS the video quality is just 480p upscaled on both 720P@30FPS/1080P@30FPS resolutions and it lags horribly (like 10FPS) on both resolutions. except for VGA 640x480@30FPS which is more like 144p. they don't have the ability to do time lapse or slow motion, nor wide angle lens which will end up in the garbage of course

@7:29 your handlebars are so squint.

Mezzer is good even without the dual air system. I have a Pro and 2 Experts. I prefer the latter. It's slightly more sensitive off the top because of the larger positive chamber that requires less pressure to give proper sag. And the damper is easier to tweak without any noticeable performance reduction. 90% of the time I only use 2 positions and switch between them based on terrain: jump lines or trashed descents. A lockout is very handy on XC trails. I also have a Fox 38F , 3x Fox36F, and a Yari with RC2.1. Mezzer Expert over all of them, no questions. Mezzer Pro does work quite well on my eMTB. IRT allows me to have enough support for the 60lb bike without suffering from small bump harshness. Yes, it loses travel when stored in the cold, as the seals shrink. Very annoying. Reverse arch doesn't create a pocket of dust between it and the stanchion like you get on a forward arch - you can't get in there and wipe it. And it's lighter. Literally, all benefits.

what if i have long legs? kenevo still good choice?

Então entendo o seu ponto de vista, mas não concordo. Meu cenário aposentei o futebol e o vôlei por estar com os joelhos ruins desde 2016 comecei a pedalar hoje forçar subidas e pedalar em pé não posso, mas cadência, equilibrio, posicionamento e principalmente ficar longe do sofá é uma vantagem. Se vc já usou um bom rolo de treino verá que é uma grande ferramenta para evoluir podendo ter treinos consistente e seguros longe do trânsito ou das condições climáticas. Voltando a discordância críticas por não conhecer e claramente nunca participar de estudos do esporte seja como professor ou aluno.
