Mentioned already, but the last 2 are the defunct (maybe) Trust Performance fork damper cartridge

Missed timed April fools joke maybe....no???

2023 Zeb runs 15cc splash on the air side and 30cc on damper side (not the 20cc per mentioned in the review) You need to have the bushings sized, this helps greatly, they are very long and if too tight they scrap oil away and reduce suppleness. Also have the damper cartridge rebuilt using ohlin's 2.5 damper fluid (or Motorex 2.5) This solves the rebound issue as well as making it far more compliant. Then go test it against a Fox! Yes, you should not have to do this, but you do! The Zeb uses Maxima 7wt in the damper, which has about a 25cSt value, that needs to be around 11-18cSt depending on rider size. The stock fluid is incredibly thick stuff and below 50 degrees it feels like cement in the damper! Odd choice for oil weight! FYI Fox Teflon is about 15cSt Enjoy-

Typical of PB and tech, a few things missing. Spot now uses a Ti leaf vs the carbon. this is to help with consistency of the spring rate it produces as well as more controllable machining. Also the "trend" to larger negative chamber has tapered off quite a bit. More and more bicycles have less and less ant-squat so the neg chamber has to be reduced to control body induced movement. And as more people move back to coils, the smaller neg chamber mimic's this but with more adjust-ability. This, in the grand scheme of things, is a good thing as you have more tuning options from super squishy off the top to firm pedal platform feel within the same shock. Notice that the Spot uses a "small" air can, no large negative volume bump at base of the air can, they also may have "anti" spacers as Fox calls them. (Pivot is king of jamming anti spacers in all their shocks) This bike does NOT have a "lose of traction" at the top of the stroke. Please ride it before you say it might. And the mid stroke is controlled by the air cans natural progression and when set up right has great compliance AND support. ALL the Spot bikes are amazingly adaptable to ones terrain. You can make this 115 short travel light and super fast or put bomber wheels and tires and rip any descent. Or take the Mayhem 150 and make it a light weight all mountain long travel XC machine... if you want! Just say'in Am I a bit biased, maybe! Great friends of mine, but I ride and have lots of other bike brands too! Spot is the slight underdog in the high end bike mrkt, but if you ride one you'll be hard pressed to find something that climbs as well and still descends the way you want it to. The geometry is the best bar none, no stupid "actual and virtual" seat tube angles, its steep that way they should be and if you have a high saddle height your saddle won't end up being behind the rear wheel like so many other "modern" geo bikes, ugh! The old Ryve was a blast, this one only got better in all the right places PB, please please get the tech right before throwing someones hard earned work under the bus No... I do not work for Spot

its a T10, not a 2mm Allen, use the right tool and no issues at all

@DanBrownAthertonBikes: Thanks for the answer

These look like great frames and innovative design. But a frame that for me (5'6", 30" inseam) will only accommodate a 125mm dropper is terrible. No frame i have ever ridden in my correct size will not accept anything under 150-160mm This would be one of your first updates in my humble opinion! Best of luck though, love to ride one.
