Personally i think it is an awesome build. The bike just looks......... yeah, awesome
Hmm allot of awesome's hehe. well i think it is the right way to describe it.
More to come....
Had my doubts on the quality of it since they're like £325 inc. a ti spring while an RC4 is like £400-£550 with a steel spring. But from what I've read they seem to perfom quite well.
Any idea how it performs on bikes with a low ratio? The Voltage has between 2.1 - 2.3.
So going from a vanilla r to this shock. Man you are going to get a totaly new perspective on your bike. Suspension has a huge role in how good your bike will perform. You will def get more grip, better feel in the terrain. And not feel those crazy bumps that you did before.
People can do service on them by them self. But then they will void the warranty. As is with all other product made out there.
Hope this helps.
