It's interesting that the shock tune was biased toward trail riding, given the slack head angle and heavy duty frame construction. I know that the extra volume shock cans can blow through their travel a bit easily anyway but after the retune mine's now spot on. Hopefully I'll be doing DWs excellent suspension design justice at next years BC Bike Race - the Dixon will more or less be returning home!

I have a 2011 Dixon that I built up myself. Loving the rear suspension and frame rigidity but also found the shock tne a little on the light side. I found that when set up with about 30% sag, it blew through the travel when taking berms at high speed. I weigh just over 12 st fully kitted up and my riding style isn't what i'd class as heavy on the equipment and so was suprised how easily i was pushng through all he travel. I ended up sending the shock to mojo for a retune - the light compression tune was upped to a medium and the boost valve pressure upped from 150 to 225 with the pro pedal also adjusted to suit. This transformed the ride and I've been running the shock at 30% sag without having to resort to any volume reduction spacers. The thing I don't understand is why the shock has such a light compression tune in the first place.
