Hi,
Was wondering if anyone is running a dhx2 on the bronson. If so, how does it feel compared to the previous shock. Im deciding between the X2 and the DHX2. Is the bike too linear for a coil?

Someone at the MTBR forum has a 11/6 coil shock on the Bronson V2

I think the X 2 Float would be the best , as you can make the shock more progressive in the mid stroke .

I run a cane creek coil and love the feel of the coil over the air. My team mate runs the air shock. They both ride great just depends on what you want

i have a bronson v2 and the CTD shock that's on there feels great for climbing but going through rock gardens and taking drops it feels pretty harsh even when its all the way open and rebound is as slow as possible, so i've been looking at a DHX2 with a climb switch. any one else run this set up yet?

Have you added any volume spaces to the air can from stock ? . This will help . Running you shock with slow rebound will kill your frame

no i haven't, do those just change the way that it bottoms out/ramps up towards the end of the stroke?

also another weird question, i know that the standard shock size is 200x57, has anyone ever tried long-shocking a bronson? i know it's been done with hightowers to get 150mm instead of 135mm, and i was thinking of putting a 216x63 coil shock on mine, but wanted to see if that would even make sense.

Using the wrong shock length sounds like a bad idea and an expensive exercise. YES the volume spacers change the mid and end stroke of the shock/ bottom out. The factory spacing is way too soft . Try the volume spaces ! . All the info is on the net, there very easy to install , no tools required . Your local bike shop should be able to order the spacers.
