What's everyone like for shocks on the Matryx?

Ohlins are some seriously heavy duty shocks. I know where you can get some if anyone is interested in a set.

I think there is a gay sledders thread in the general if you wanna go talk about your feelings for Caleb there, Chilly.

I’ve never tried the S36 Ohlins they have for sale now but I hear they are really good. Mine on my Boost are TTX hand built ones similar to what Skinzs sells for the front. I have well over 10000miles total on them I rebuild them every other year and still as good as the day I got them. I had them modified from my Iron Dog days to fit my Boost.

I have fox airs qs3s on all 4 corners, I regret spending the money on them, I set the fronts to buraunts recommend pressures, and it's to harsh, I put my stockers back on with a much smoother ride, the rears are ok after spending a whole season trying different setups. I should had done more homework and bought coils. Not many top pro riders use fox airs compared to coils. The only feature I like is the lock out mode on the rears ,Live and learn I guess.

Good honest review. Thanks for your opinion on them. I’ve never really been a huge fan of air shocks, but was looking at the QS3’s.

Chilly,
Buy a carbon skid with your heavy duty Ohlins and report back with your 24 boost boat anchor results. That would be a great test. But leave the stock clutching, because nothing is better. No AV gas can be used for the better performance with bad fuel.

Enlighten me on what you seem to think pros ride. And what are the names of these individuals that you refer to as "pros".

He needs to spend his gas money to come ride with you to find out who the ‘Pro’s’ are.

"A" clown.

And he's not wrong. You don't see as many guys on air as you do coils.

I personally know a lot more guys on the air. Aren't the coils significantly less money?

They're within $100 last I checked. Coils saved a little more weight.

Correct and also don’t fluctuate in temp swings. With that, I still run air.
