Just having random ideas on my mind but anyone can comment on the DVO jade? Would it be a good match for the sb66?

iv been absolutely blown away by mine. makes your rear end feel glued to the ground in the chunk slightly better than the dhX2 on my buddies bike. We spent a few days swapping shocks back and forth and we both agreed the jade tracked better.

dooo eeeet!

Anyone care to give a review on the topaz? Debating wether to go jade or topaz on my upcoming trail build, but since the bike is already gonna be heavy and probably more
Bike than I really need I would like to save weight where I can. But if the topaz is anything like the monarch plus which i don't like, then I might just have to put on my big boy pants and get a coil

It's like a monarch+ in a lot of ways. If you want something different go categorically different --> Jade FTW

most likely a canfield balance or a devinci troy. Im just afraid that if i coil the canfield, it'll be too much overlap with my dh bike, and too much bike for my local trails. Less worried with the troy, but unsure about clearance.

Get the balance, coil it and sell the DH rig.

Canfield and DVO are like peanut butter and jelly.

considered that, but 50% of my riding is super gnarley DH runs (no bikepark/flow shit) and I race dh and don't plan on stopping. But still want my trail
Bike for trail riding and uplift flow/jump tracks
