yes, actually

So you would buy a SuperCycle if it had an E-13 bashguard?
no, thats not what i mean, the stinky is cheaper, pretty much equal parts, but it has a chainguide = better
base model shore over here costs at least 600 bucks more than a stinky

if i were to buy it, i would go a shore since i have a spare chainguide, if i had the money, ive ridden fsr and its awesome, but as a complete i would get a stinky instead of having to stop and put my chain back on every time i go riding

I would much rather have Shore rear suspension than Stinky... Shore feels much more plush.

DUDE my buddy has a shore, and you can literally tap the seat with one finger and you see the shock compress. On shitty bikes you see jolty shocks that jerk around, stick, and have to crack before they begin to compress. It's about the shock and the suspension system, and I have reason to beleive that both are better on the shore. GOf*ckYOURSELF what?

Indeed. I sat on an A-Line a couple weeks ago, I was in heaven... felt so progressive and bottomless compared to my Slash.

I need a new shock, damn it.

lolz DHX Coil is the way to go yo, I can tell you from experience that my friend for some reason keeps buying Manitou suspension, and it always sucks. Manitou is like the Kona of suspension. LOL jokes but seriously manitou FAILZ

I've heard some not-bad things about the Swinger 6-Way, but I really want a Roco or a DHX. Maybe even an airshock. I don't huck hardcore, so I think air is a good idea... for me anyway.

For forks, high end Fox, Rockshox, and Marzo are generally pretty equal quality wise. EG- Best Boxxers, Best 888's, Best 40's are pretty near the same quality.

The difference is that Fox focuses on only high quality suspension and makes absolutely no entry level models. If you want a really cheap fork, you simply can't buy a Fox. If you want a really good fork though, you can buy a fork from any manufacturer - it's just about choice. If you're looking for an entry level fork, you pretty much have to go Marz or Manitou.

And yet, Argyles outperform them by far.
