Thanks for the feedback. Many people are misguided into believing anything not an RC4 (coil) or an RP23 (air) is a downgrade. There are so many amazing suspension products available, each with their own myriad of tuning options, applications, and pricing. This particular Blindside is set up with the Van R (which is an awesome shock btw) to save money compared to the RC4 otpion.

But none of this even matters, because we are always happy to re-customize bikes once they sell, so the buyer of this bike can opt to pay the extra to go an RC4, Elka, Revox, Vivid, or whatever else they would want...

 I like the coils better actually...

 Thanks a lot my friend. We appreciate the vote of confidence and look forward to setting you up with your next favourite bike!
