Hi all. Looking to replace the shock on my 2019 Jeffsy 29. It currently has the stock DPS performance elite and I’m looking to go coil. Out of the following, which would be the preferred:
DVO Jade DVO Jade X Fox DHX2 Fox DHX
For what it’s worth, I live and predominantly ride in central Texas. The trails I normally ride are lots of punchy climbs, small downs and a great deal of rock and root. I’m at 210lbs rider weight and ride an XXL. My current shock is a 210x50, but according to YT, I can also use a 210x55.
I specifically left out Cane Creek cuz I’m not interested. I’m not opposed to recommendations on Rockshox. DHX2 is at the top of my price point so I left out the more expensive brands.
I have a jade x on my 19 jeffsy and really like it. The shock made my bike plusher on the rough stuff but still had the poppy feel when jumping and playing around on the trail. Make sure you a dvo tune it for the jeffsy. I got mine with the stock tune and the rebound was two fast. I had to sent it in to have the re tune the shock. I the nice part was they did not charge me for the re tune.

Outstanding. Thank you for your input. The Jade X is currently at the top of my list. Just needed another Jeffsy rider to provide input to cement the deal.
