My Manitou ISX-6 was a spectacular shock on the WC. If you have preference to Fox though, then go with the RP2. It's miles better than the DHX air, The only downside is the adjustments have to be done internally, but it's also easier to do so than the DHX air. ISX-6 would be my first choice on that bike for sure though.
Yup, been running my ISX-6 for 4 years now and its still pimpin

The RP2 is great once it's dialed in. But yeah, Manitou is the shit on the WC.

Sick build! I would go for a Marz 66 or 55, whichever amount of travel you want

Something to think about, a 7" fork with rear set at 5" makes for a wicked mini Dh bike

Don't trust Marz but trust RS? What makes you not trust Marz?

I am in the boat with nishnash and nato! I have a Manitou Evolver ISX-4 on my Wildcard and still loving it. The Evolver is the most underrated Air-Shock on the market for years, while Riders always want the new fancy stuff like Vivid-, BOS- or CCDB-Airs.

I have heard/read a lot of mixed reviews from the Fox DHX-Air - on some frames this shock fits well, on others there seems to be a lack of performance - mainly blowing through the mid-stroke/travel.

I have no personal experience with the DHX-Air, but would go with something else. Due to the Evolver I can give nothing but praise, especially on the Wildcard. Save some money and get one!

Greetings
