Looking for Fox EvolR Pro reviews...Front & rear susp

[gman086]

Off the wall question. For a 250 lb. rider with 45 pounds of gear (5 gallons of gas plus assorted supplies) on the back, would I be better off springing and valving my stock Assault shocks or might these air shocks be better for adjustability with varying loads?

That's the true beauty of air shocks - ease of adjustability based on varying terrain, snow conditions, and loads. I'd rather use a precise air pump gauge than guess how many turns in of the coil springs I need, if you follow me. For instance, it's really easy for me to lower the shock pressures when I let my girlfriend use my Summit (has Evol R's also).

Have FUN!

Do they provide good bottoming resistance when pumped up to support a load? Sorry to hijack thread, last question.

OH Yes! That's the beauty of air shocks - they ramp up at the end of travel to prevent bottoming due to their more progressive nature; and more air = stiffer spring rate. Now multi-rate coil overs can do the same thing but they have a weight penalty even more-so than with standard coil overs.

Have FUN!
