A grand would almost get you a boxxer team or a previous gen world cup, or a marzocchi 380, or, or... which would be waaaay better than that thing. They're almost unknown and weigh like 8 pounds. Get something from a reputable brand. Not worth the risk, especially if you're tight on cash and can't afford for it to suck.

How about a used fox 40, with a fresh rebuild?I am looking to stay at around 500 all done.
Get this https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/2003870/ or this: http://emarket.srsuntourna.com/products/copy-of-rux-rc2-200mm?variant=1032315735
Many thanks. Like the look of both of those. Like the features on the x fusion.

I am a disabled DH rider living in Rocky Mountain House AB home hill Baseline. Accident from a bad mx crash 16 yrs ago. I'm trying to find other disabled riders. To maybe one day ride together, talk about how we can get better!

Anyone have any experience with ixs flow knee pads? Are they downhill worthy, or should I look for something more protective

Is anyone currently using or have used any of the TLD base layer body armor? I recently bought the 3900 protective vest and when it came in, it wasn't quite what I thought it would be. Quite comfortable but the pads in the spine area don't seem like they would offer much spine protection (very soft)!

Just f*cked my ion kpac in the park. Protected my knee well though. Went and bought poc. Poc are the best I ever had. They feel super solid and literally don't move a freaking mm.

Read the test and lower your expectations a bit, the fact that it doesn't come with a WC but a RC won't make it worse, geometry is way more important than parts i guess.

There's actually a huge difference between the WC and RC, BUT you can always drop a Charger in the RC and you're golden.
