oh i see well yea im used to ahrdtail so i think anything will feel better

i would get the vivid,less knob's to twiddle with and each adjusment on the dhx has an effect on the other ajustment's.

yeah in my opinion if your coming from a hardtail just stick with the dhx 5. If they were not a good shock why would pro downhillers use them ? sorry to use professionals as a example. But its true.

Then in a year or so if you want a diffrent feeling shock instead of forking out 300+ for a new just get it pushed for 100$.

TZ.

sam hill and tyler morland ride vivids if u want an example of a pro DHer Smile
