I currently have a 2014 Wilson 26 inch I'm running a cane creek db coil on it but am thinking about switching it out to a air shock to make it a little more playful and jumpy. I've looked in the rear linkage and it doesn't look like there's much room for one though. Do you know if the Wilson is compatible with any dh air shocks?

There is a thread you should check out:

https://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomments/?threadid=48620

But I think the BOS Void is the only one I have seen on the thread that would work

I have a wilson running a CCDB as well. If you want you can ramp up the bound a bit and the sag a touch (instead of 30% aim for closer to 20%) and that should act a bit firmer and poppier also cost nothing. Make sure to log all changes as a stiffer poppier ride will be good for whistler but can be rattlier on rougher rides. Also remember that the CCDB that came stock is tuned to work with the suspension rates of the bike Smile

Anyone know if the new fox dx2 fits the 14' Carbon Wilson?

i am looking into an air shock for my wlsn aswell from what ive heard and researched the CCDB air CS(the one i am looking at) seems to fit its just a little annoying to find the right size if ur not buying it from the manufacturer

I'm thinking about trying Fox Float X2 on my 2014 Wilson. just waiting on more opinions and reviews of the shock.

I was afraid of that. I would love the ability to adjust air pressure in my vivid coil shock without taking it off but it's impossible so getting an air shock with an accessible valve seems like a good option but I guess it isn't meant to be

don't go on what just one person said.
I have a buddy that just bought the float X2 for his 2012 aluminium Wilson. He loves it! Fanatik bikes was testing the float X2 on a 2014 carbon Wilson at whistler. They said on their Facebook page that it was awesome! They are supposed to have a review on it soon.

Oh gotcha. I would think an air shock could be good if you can modify the air spring a bit and make it slightly more progressive. I'd love to try one on my Wilson. I'm trying to sell my vivid r2c right now to fund the float X2. The vivid us really good though. I have zero complaints about it! I'm sold on duel rebounds.

I'll probably buy the float x2 in a few weeks. I dislike my vivid coil. I don't do gnar gnar downhills so I think it would be fine. If I get it I'll try to remember to give a review on here.

I just put a vivid R2C air on my 2015 wilson 27.5, I like the weight savings, like the way it feels, like that I can dial it in on a trail to trial basis, it's probably the best my bike has ever felt, just worried about long term reliability.

As with anything from SRAM I hear your concern.
