So my OEM Float X2 (black stanchion, I think it was called "performance") blew up for the 3rd time in 1.5 years.
Thankfully warranty service in Spain-Portugal is truly amazing and fast. Props to those guys at Bicimax.
This time, they finally gave up on it and gave me a brand new factory shock for replacement. Pretty sick. I hope that this one works either because of luck or because of the design being improved to not have the issues it clearly has.
That said, I am thinking of getting a simple/cheap coil shock as my B shock and to try it out and have fun.
Has anyone had good experiences with coil shocks on this frame? Bang for the buck options are welcomed!
I want to get a coil. There's so many choices, it's hard to decide. On MTBR people say the bomber CR is good. I was wondering about the super deluxe coil because of the hydraulic bottom out. The leverage curve gets linear near bottom out. I want to get the 65mm shock too.
I'm not happy with my fox 38 performance elite either. I think I'm going to order a vorsprung smashpot for it.
The Bomber CR would be a good choice. A few of my buddies run them in similar bikes and love them. If the replaced the X2 that’s good because the one you had was not reliable. Fox is replacing them with the updated one you got and supposedly all the problems are fixed. They did the same with mine. So far so good…
I ride Super Deluxe Select + for a few times on my Giant Reign 2 2021. But shock feels harsh and don't work good on the bike. No grip on the rear,bike feels unballanced.Try everything to setup but without success... Now I put back oem shock Deluxe Select + and it rides way better. Shock was from Spec Enduro 2021. It have LL1320 tune oem shock have LLC380. Is it possible to tune the SDS+ like the SD+ is?
Hi, I have a 2021 Reign 1 29 with Aluminium frame.
I couldn´t find information about the bearings used for the frame. I would like to buy all bearings before taking the bike apart. Can anyone provide a list of the required bearings?
Thanks.
Edit: search didn´t show a result but finally found it when reading through teh pages: 2x6902, 6x6900, 4x6802.
