Favorite Shocks

[HammsRMK]

Hey guys just wondering what most of you are runing for front shocks. I think I got one going bad. Maybe looking to up grade to better ones. Then again I could take them off and have them gone threw, any idea what it would cost to them rebuilt? I have walker evans on my 2010 dragon with 700miles.

Contact Mark at CMX. He had a pair of walker shocks.
I would say go with the Rapter clicker shocks. $1050 but worth it. If you put them on the front you will order them for the skid later.

i've been very impressed with exits, raptors are probably just as good

I've used Walker Evans, Fox, and a little time on the Exits. I have liked them all. WE work good in pow, not as good for drops and jumping. Fox is nice but I don't like having to always tune. Exits were great, but add a little weight.

Planning on trying the Raptors this year. Similar to the Exit shock, but lighter.

Have had Several set of Öhlins and they are No1!
Have now a pair of KYB front shocks from a Lynx RS 600, (same as Doo RS 600 but a tad shorter) and they are really good too. (If they fit, the KYB RS shocks are REALY good and can be found cheap, just have them revalved for YOU)
Ryde Air 2,0 is second from the bottom, worse is only The Walker Evans Air.
The regular Walkers are decent if valved and assembled right, could have skipped fitting adjustment knobs on most of them though, "several clicks of no difference at all".

Most shocks are of the same "De Carbon" design and thus more or less the same, what differs is component quality and valving and how to accomplish adjustment of the dampening.

Thanks for the info guys. Ill probably see if i can get it recharged as not a lot of $$$ this time of year and look for somthing diferent this summer.

PM me I have set of four walkers from a dragon just redone (never back on a sled since the rebuild) by Carl's Cycles in Boise that I would like to sell. I'll make it a great deal for someone.
