Fox's X2 and DPS shocks both received updates for 2018. The DPS gets a new air can designed to increase the negative spring volume and increase small bump sensitivity, while the X2's damping tune was revised. Both shocks are now available in imperial and metric sizes.
Version 2.0 of Kona's Wah Wah pedal is on the way, with a wide polycarbonate platform and seven pins on each side. The final price hasn't been determined, but it's expected to be less than $65. There's also an alloy version in the works, but its release is a little further down the line.
Why am I not surprised.
Plenty of nomad owners have an 11-6. I'm in the minority that still use a DBair
I'm yet to see a nomad with an ohlins but if they're less than an 11-6 they will sell a lot. I almost bought an 11-6 but i couldn't justify the price of a new nice steel hardtail for more midstroke support and small bump sensitivity. I got my db air used from someone that upgraded to an 11-6. It's not perfect but it's damn close and i have an extra grand.
I ride mine plenty. It's my only bike and it does everything well enough. The stock spec'd monarch is a good shock but it doesn't jive well when you start pushing the bike like it's intended. If the monarch had a HSC adjustment it would work well enough.
I was using a DBAir CS on my SB6c and I changed too the DBCoil CS and it feels a lot better than the air spring.
Air spring felt punchy where the coil feels smooth throughout its stroke.
I'm not sure why all the hate towards Ohlins they are 600$ less than Push Eleven-six and pretty sure it's just as good!
And btw, f*ck you weight weenies for flooding the market with air shocks.
Also, Bontrager is killing it with these new affordable high end wheelsets!
the motor bike stuff is sexy as f@#k makes spending all that money abit easier.
