If you love nothing more than descending and want ultimate bump absorption - this is the shock you need!Featuring an entirely new chassis and damper, the DHX2 has had a whole bunch of updates to the internals to make it smoother, more tunable, and with better end-stroke control via the new progressive MCU bottom-out bumper.It's also easier to install on even more frame designs thanks to a more compact piggyback reservoir.Who is this for: This is for riders that love nothing more than descending and want the ultimate in traction and predictable suspension performance. It's best suited for use on DH sleds and hard-hitting Enduro bikes.Spring type: This is a coil spring shock. The latest models have detents on the spring collar to prevent loosening under light preload conditionsCompression damper adjustments: HSC: 8 clicks LSC: 16 clicks Optional 2-position Open/Firm lever (retains high and low-speed compression adjustment) Rebound damper technologies: Improved high-speed rebound tunability via the addition of VVC (Variable Valve Control)Rebound damper adjustments: HSR (with VVC): 8 clicks LSC 16 clicks Pros: Huge potential for tuning with HSC/LSC and HSR/LSR. Coil shocks offer excellent traction, small bump sensitivity, and predictable performance that is unaffected by changes in weather or altitude.Cons: More adjustment means more potential to totally mess things up. Coil shocks have a small weight penalty compared to air shocks.Please note: The DHX 2 is supplied WITHOUT spring and WITHOUT hardware.
