So it's winter in the northern hemisphere. Have you actually ridden them on the DH trail yet? How long have you had them? What were you riding prior to these?

I'm deciding what to get for my next DH rig and like the low axle-to-crown of the Boxxers + new 888s but don't know how either of them feel. I do know the '06 888 RC2X feels awesome through small bumps and for big hits off large drops + jumps gone awry. That's my benchmark. Don't know what to expect with the Boxxers or new 888 ATA WC. I get the feeling they don't ramp progressively like the 888 RC2X. Can anybody set me straight on this point based on experience?

Thanks!

i have the rc3 wc and i find that the small bumps are easaly absobed and so are the big hucks but in the middle it can be abit jerky but im still fidling with the set up
