9/10 for the commencal. -1 for the mudhugger, would love to see something more low-key. Love the red accents with the frame colors though and that coil looks amazing!
It's only been a month or so since I last posted but the patrol's undergone a pretty big change. Traded out the stock Fox 36 Performance for a Diamond D1 and the stock Code R's for some new SLX 4-Pistons. Stoked with the ride!

Absolutely sick Patrol. I love those bikes! 9.5/10. Just needs coil front and rear Wink

I've posted before but the bikes gone through some upgrades as well. Lyrik with a Vorsprung Smashpot on the spring side and a Push HC97 on the damper side. As well as going from a DHX5 to a DHX RC4 coil on the rear. Also added a set of Oneup 35mm carbon bars and stem, as well as the EDC tool, moved up to a Oneup 180mm dropper as well. And lastly XO1 Carbon Cranks.

Very awesome spec. Curious why you go for all the damper and air spring upgrades, but run the dhxrc4?

Ah. Glad you asked. It's actually a 2014 RC4. So it's the small shaft RC4 with the boost valve removed. With no boost valve it's just a very conventional shock, no position sensitivity.

In 2014/2015 they made the shaft smaller diameter compared to the regular fat-shaft RC4 (now same as the old DHX5) so it has less breakaway force, lower stiction, and plays better with modern frames.

It is to this day one of the best shocks that you can buy, in my opinion.

Love the Intense 8/10. Never ridden a coil, but that looks like a sweet setup.

Last two bikes are pigs and should be recycled to make something useful, like beer cans.

Come on man! You don’t know what financial struggles people are having, and what is going on in their lives. What if they couldn’t afford a nice bike? What if their bike got stollen? Every bike shines in some places. The more expensive bikes tend to shine more in certain spots, but TbH I wouldn’t mind having a coiler!

This is how the thread responds if you didn't rate the previous bike.

Love the Intense. Really wanted one of those frames when they came out. Solid 9/10 knowing the background of the suspension bits and how tidy the entire package is. Smart bike!

Justin Moore is the photoman. Finally a decent pic of something I ride

Here's my steed. Be nice please!
