How's the x2 on the 2019 compared to the dpx2? Been going back and forth on upgrading for a few months now. I almost pulled the trigger during black friday, but decided to go xt 12p instead.

Definitely go coil! this bike was destined to be ridden with a coil.. so much more composed and planted when going mach chicken down the trails. still able to pop off whatever i want and get good air time.

Agreed. Cane Creek DB Coil CS changed the game for me. Amazing climb switch and smooth on the way down. The bike is too progressive for air shocks, especially at 200lbs plus.

Cool. I'm geared up to ride around ~170lb, but I definitely feel the harshness of the dpx2. I waffle between x2 and a coil. Good to hear you don't lose the pop, as that's one of my concerns w/ coil. Are you running one of the progressive springs w/ the ccdb? Seems like that could be best of both worlds.

You don’t need a progressive spring for the jeffsy. I’m running a Push 11/6 with proprietary coil and the bike still keeps its playful nature. I do notice the extra weight slightly but I also had to put on a beefier rear tire because I’m now able to bomb down gnarlier terrain that I previously had to take it slow on. Don’t waste your money on anything else

The DPX2 was awful for me. I tried everything and was happy to get ride of it. I have a normal spring and love it. Hard to use all travel and our trails are pretty rough. Capra is made for a coil.

Thanks, sounds like the best of both worlds. I'm not too concerned about weight. I'm not winning any races and I sweat out like 5-7lb of water per ride in the summer anyway!

Glad everyone fielded this before me; there's been a lot written on the subject already. I will say that really like the X2 and have zero complaints. I'm like 170lb fully kitted and the bike rides great. I run compression damping pretty high; the bike is "playful" and supportive in the corners.
