The platform from the shock makes the rear end skip and loose traction over such things, particularly if you're out of the saddle and have transfered alot of your weight forward. Steep climbs with rocks and roots have been the achilles heel of fox propedal shocks. I was really hoping that on the 2011 shocks they would have fixed this. This is probably something to do with the shape or design of the rebound needle and the orifice in which it works. What's crappy about it? Most of the adjustment range doesn't seem to make any realy difference until you get to a certain point and one click more is too much rebound damping and one click back is too little. Anything on the 2011 Fox RP23 with Boost Valve not to like?Įvery fox shock I've had seems to suffer from the same crappy rebound adjuster. I revalved the RP3 a few times to try to get a good setup but the complex relationships between the rebound, pro-pedal and compression circuits made the thing a nightmare to tune and I can't say that I ever got it to the stage where I though it was great.
REAR SHOCK FOX FLOAT RP23 FULL
The stock Float R had too much platform and the RP3 had too much platform and too little rebound damping, even with the adjuster at full slow. This is definetly the best Fox shock that I've had on the Anthem X. I was really surprised that the 2011 Fox RP23 with Boost Valve compares really favourably with the Hugin. Its features are pretty unique in 165mm eye-to-eye shocks. The proper high and low speed adjusters on this shock (and lack of a platform) allow you to really dial this shock in. My favourite shock on the Anthem X to date has been the Magura Hugin - with this shock on the bike you simply forget its on there as it soaks up everything the terrain throws at it without fuss. For me this was about 140psi in the air spring. Small bump compliance feels almost as good as propedal off, but propedal's there for cranking out the watts.Īfter playing around a little with air pressures which resulted in sag from between 10mm and 7mm I settled on 9mm of sag which provided the plushest feeling without wallowing in the mid-stroke.
