I don't like the stripes on 2013+ Mega. The Pulse, for example, is cleaner and better looking.

I would get the Mega even with the stripes, but I had the chance to have a better looking bike for a cheap price (about 25 euro), so why not?

My 2013 Mega AM
I really like this bike.Always brings a smile to my face when I'm out on it.
Lyriks are in 170mm setting but they have a straight steerer so I can Use an internal headset . keeps the head angle a bit better for climbing.

RP i had on Pitch was much worse than the Monarch Plus, i'm running 155psi and weigh 77kilos, shock has good small bump and stays high in travel when pushing but it's super plash on bigger bumps

I go fed up with the dead feeling rear end so put a rp23 with the large volume spacer in it and it has completely changed the bike so responsive more adjustment doesn't blow it's travel. Gettin it pushed next month but don't think it needs it really. Sold the monarch for the same price I got the rp23 for

Isn't sag supposed to be at 30%?

I'm 72 kg and run 150/155 psi (still trying).

25---30% sag yes that's what I'm saying I'm getting 20% sag with 180psi . Problem is if I drop the air down to get 25%sag it's to soft and blows it's travel . I'm sure I had 180psi and got 25% sag before the service . Need to find that sweeeet spot all over again

25-30% Just comes down to rider preferences

Hi. New to this forum. Riding a 2014 Mega 275. Anybody else had issues with their lower shock bushings? Mine have definite play in them after only 2 months and met a bloke last week who was on his 3rd set in 4 months. Been trying to work out which bushings I need and cant find the info anywhere. Bike isn't to hand either to measure and trying to avoid the legthy journey to the shop where I bought it from. Shock is the Stock Monarch + RC3. Think I need a 12.7 × 12.7, (1/2 × 1/2) but then there are several different width and bolt sizes to choose from. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
