Hello all!
My team has been recently looking into alternative damper options. In the past years we have been using the 4 way adjustable Ohlins TTX25 MKII wich are more than 600 $ each, without being able to really take advantage of the 4 way adjustability. Taking this into account and being a small budget team, we have been looking into cheaper options and 2 way adjustable shocks. It seems that in recent years great progress has been made in the mountain bike shocks industry. We´ve looked at a couple of interesting models wich go for less than half the price of the Ohlins, such as the
RockShox Kage RC. On the other hand we've read relatively old posts talking about the problems with mountain bike shocks, such as not consistent curves between different shocks and being overdamped for FSAE applicaitons.
We'd love to hear from your experiences with such modern MTB shocks.
Cheers,
Rodrigo
