ahahahahha... wow, some real winners here. IMO im glad some one else is out there giving shocks a shot, i mean there really is only fox, rock shox, cane creek, marzocchi and now x fusion (among the other smaller guys) that are trying to push the envelope on suspension technology. compare that to how many different frame designers are out there and all i gotta say is F yea Xfusion for giving it your best shot!!!

I'd be very surprised if Elka doesn't start blowing up in the next year or so. they make some high quality moto stuff, always nice to have competition..... now if someone could just drive the prices back down to a reasonable level.

Elka is gonna be big in the rear shock side of things, but they don't even make a fork for mx, so it will be a while before they have a well tested, great fork.

romic is a small company, but I loved their shocks

If X-fusion wanna sell anything, they need to get a decent working and informative website and actually make their products available, they're wasting their advertising as I've not found anywhere that sells their stuff or even has prices, bit dumb if you ask me - and there's no point showing pro's like Tyler McCaul pulling some sweet moves on their product, as we all know they can do this stuff on any rear shock, certainly not selling anything here!

Santa Cruz county, CA on some private land our head technician owns. Building like mad men.

cheers =]

X-Fusion has some really nice tech going on @starcbiker, dont hate. Some of the garage built/small production frames are the best ones out there. Same goes for suspension.

starcbiker (Mar 19, 2010 at 20:48)

your right, i'm going to see how things play out, i was just simply saying that i'm not sold yet, but my opinion is subject to change i'll keep an eye out for x-fusion

Terrafire (Mar 20, 2010 at 12:53)

Good stuff

run with the little guys

reillykintzele (Mar 20, 2010 at 21:04)

chunter (Mar 19, 2010 at 21:32)

damn dude, if these were the "B" pics I can't wait to see your best stuff. nice work!

T-woot (Mar 22, 2010 at 19:49)

almost bought the vengence hlr but opted for a 36 van r instead... sort of wish I waited

muchentuchen (Mar 22, 2010 at 21:26)

any guys tried out the Vengeance?

McDonnell (Mar 20, 2010 at 12:22)

Amaral-21 (Mar 24, 2010 at 21:39)

By the flag next to your name :-)

brodricka (Mar 20, 2010 at 7:04)

u fail to mention bos or cannut both of which are amazing, yet dont have the mass appeal of Rock shox or fox

nightfox (Mar 20, 2010 at 5:18)

does x-fusion offer 20mm QR?

MooMoo2323 (Mar 20, 2010 at 9:43)

the "vengeance" is 20mm thru axle. the other forks are just qr. this article is about the shock though.

seanpinkbikecom (Mar 19, 2010 at 13:45)

that track in the video looks so much fun

beaubaugher (Mar 19, 2010 at 22:27)

It is a boxxer dumbass

alexdjer93 (Mar 19, 2010 at 13:02)

that's very nice

jason-zee (Mar 19, 2010 at 13:32)

oh srry

MattFreerider (Mar 19, 2010 at 15:48)

WOW! nice, lol

MattFreerider (Mar 20, 2010 at 9:47)

Fox And Rockshox arent the only ones that are good out there with suspesion and other stuff! REEALY get out more.

muchentuchen (Mar 21, 2010 at 7:05)

So when's that DH fork coming out for X-Fusion?

MCsession7 (Mar 21, 2010 at 11:24)

Those are Boxxers, they don't make a DH fork.

DrummingLlife (Mar 21, 2010 at 11:54)

its amazing how many people dont know the difference between a fork and a shock

muchentuchen (Mar 22, 2010 at 9:35)

Its also amazing how people miss words when reading simple sentences.

taylorsmith (Mar 19, 2010 at 21:29)

it looks just like a boxxer...

MooMoo2323 (Mar 20, 2010 at 9:40)

Unless i missed something, i think it was for "promoting the 2011 Vector HLR shock". so the fork was a boxxer, the shock was the x-fusion. i dont think x-fusion has a dh fork yet.

taylorsmith (Mar 20, 2010 at 11:04)

I was the one who missed something. I thought that they were product testing a there new fork as they already had a shock line up. My bad

RaleighVoid (Mar 22, 2010 at 16:18)

i guess they took the stickers off so they wernt seen to be using any fork in particular, which suggests they may have some forks in the pipeline...?

nightmareterror (Mar 19, 2010 at 13:14)

Looks just as fun as it is awesome to capture the moments! Cheers fellas.

starcbiker (Mar 19, 2010 at 15:25)

I'm sorry but it's going to be really hard to try and sell me an x-fusion shock. i'm trying to keep an open mind but if i'm going to drop chunk of cash on a new fork or shock you would have to do some real convincing to pull me away from the tried and true fox/ rock shox. looks pretty nice however, i'll keep on look out for x-fusion but you all haven't sold me yet.

MattFreerider (Mar 19, 2010 at 15:48)

Have you rid the bike smartguy?

starcbiker (Mar 19, 2010 at 20:46)

nope and i probably wont simply because i don't want to take the chance on something that isn't as time tested as fox and rock shox. ( there aren't any demo days around here really) and if your gonna try and insult me it's rode like damdness said and it's not a bike, it's a fork.

oonser (Mar 20, 2010 at 9:23)

dude x fusion is great.theres a local suspension guy that a bunch of friends and i ride with and he has the x fusion. iv ridden it. its great. id say its better the the dhx 5.0. but not quite as good as the rc4. if i was you i would give it a try. its a great shock.

rifrafi (Mar 21, 2010 at 13:10)

"gonna try and insult me it's rode like damdness said and it's not a bike, it's a fork."

martin-t (Mar 19, 2010 at 13:46)

i love the fact that most of the riders seem to be wearing fusion's main competitor's gear (fox)

j-brantley (Mar 19, 2010 at 13:48)

FOX Racing is NOT FOX Shox! Two different companies
