Not bullshit.
I've got a mate who does custom coating, similar to Kashima and then they're tested by our local FOX mech. There's up to 40% less stiction with the new coatings, both his and kashima

Oh yeah; you feel those 40% less stiction when riding? I meen, thats a lot. How did you figure out 40% anyway?
I have a Fox RC4 Kashima myself... with kashima I can go superfast!!!111oneone11

Yes, you do.
Stiction is one of the worst issues you can have with a shock apart from blowing up the compression/rebound.
I can't really explain but the Fox dealer/mech has a special machine, guages the force used to compress it compared to a normal fork/shock

Ok well , the Kashima will give a slight advantage but im shore a hack like me wont be able to tell the difference . After just coming of a STOY im not really looking forward to the RC4 . But i could be very wrong Dead Horse
How are people liking the RC4 on the V 10`s .
