oups .... sorry about the delay !
The main chamber was still accessible but by removing the upper arm (pain in the ... !) ; but in fact it didn't perform well at all, even once the shock tuned, it never mached a spring coiled versin !
Just 2.5 lbs. lighter didn't deserve the effort and money spent, in fact, I got back to the "full" version with a BOS cartridge into the FOX 40 chassis and a Double Barrel for the rear (the most incredible change to any bike, believe me !! You can adjust the way you want the bike to perform, either FR and "slow" or DH and quick responsive sensibility .... amazing !).
Hope you enjoy,
Cheers

- is the main air chamber accessible?
- how it performs?
- what's the total weight of the bike?
cheers...
