I have a 2016 range A7.1 and the fox float evol it comes with is pretty plush and sensitive but it lacks a bit of pop. The SAG is correct as it doesn't bottom out and uses all the travel. I was going to get a CCDBCS but some reviews of the 2016 C7.2 with it was average due to the shock. So what do you have on yours, why and what do you recommend? Thanks in advance.
I've got a 2015 Range C I built up with a Rockshox Monarch Plus RC3 w/debonair. Only two rides so far on it, but can't say I've noticed it being particularly wallow-y (if that's the correct opposite of pop?!).
Relative to the Sight with Fox Float I was riding before it doesn't feel as poppy, though. Could just be inherent in 140mm vs 160mm travel...
I have a CCDB Inline and really like how it rides. On rough terrain and at speed, it feels very planted, yet can pop around the trail at will. Have ridden it in races and at bike parks. Jump lines, technical, and everything in between. It took a bit of playing with settings to get it perfect, but I like it a lot. It's also much lighter than a Floax X, Monarch Plus, or CCDB CS.
What are you guys thoughts on putting a rockshox Kage RC on a 2014 aluminium Range? I need a new shock and I was thinking going for coil because I am on a tight budget and will mostly be riding the bike park or shuttles.
