First off I'm a big guy (6ft 20.5 St 280-290 lbs) looking to get my first full sus. After getting back in to riding about a year ago I feel my hardtail has served me well but would like to move on to a full sus. As it stands with my current weight I try to leave the ground as little as possible until I start to lose some of the weight and gain confidence.

I'm also on a budget as I'm trying to buy a house, so most of the bike will be second-hand.

I'm most interested in hearing what suspension other heavy riders are using, front and back, but any recommendations for other components are welcome.

Any help appreciated, cheers. Smile

At 19st my 2013 fox 40s and fox dhx both are fine for me!

I too was a little worried about my weight but if you think about what the pros are sending at rampage, etc, these bikes and parts can take a serious beating
