Unimpressed.

Pretty much another DHR knock-off except sharper ramp on some the knobs.

Just a random thought but do you think Some companies Have put new product releases on hold until we return to some kind of normalcy?

big question for sure. it would seem that any 2020/2021 product to be launched this spring/summer is already done. maybe there are fulfillment issues with production if product is coming out of china? i really wonder how scheduled 2022/2023 product be handled? the product managers always hint that they're working way down the line w/ product (b/c they have to plan that far ahead). will all that be pushed backed or nuked completely?

I'm sure we'll start seeing some stuff start popping up in august/sept as usually happens as a ramp up for the next season. Kind of expecting RS to start showing off the Zeb around then for the last two EWS races or maybe for Trophy of nations. I'm sure their original plan was crankworks air DH and the EWS race in whistler.

I don't think delays would be coming from China, I've read a few reports that they are back to normal production. Anyone else know if this is true or false?

China is pretty much back into full production, I have friends over there that work for factories producing different things, but its the shipping thats an issue with the bag log of stuff and certain counties not excepting things from certain countries and then when the country does get it they hold onto it for a week or so to quarantine it.

I'm pretty sure that I had the virus back in January from some CNC parts express shipped from China. I wish we had had time to quarantine parts for a week. Antibody test tomorrow or Monday. We'll see.

I know the shock will prob work very well but DVO should employ a new graphic designer as this looks horrible, looks like it belongs on a alien spacecraft from the 90’s!

I see what they are trying to do here. First we had Öhlins who have their signature yellow spring. Then Fox with their signature orange spring. Then Rockshox came along with their signature red spring. Formula have shown their purple spring and now DVO with their green spring. It's like purple anodizing goes with everything (BECAUSE), Magura HS-33 yellow goes with everything, blue RS SID goes with everything, Red Rockshox Lyrik/BoXXer go with everything etc...

rumor has it that DVO shock is made in Wakanda and the spring is made from Vibranium

Im just looking at buying a new bike and thought i'd try the Canyon website and it looks as if this is a new old sender, I know its not the new sender with different shock position but I've not seen this sender colour pop up anywhere before and it has new on it.
Correct me if Im wrong thou

Simple, I have a media blast cabinet.

But try some aircraft paint remover to remove it chemically.

Theres also a very grainy picture of it in Jordie's bike check on the "Fox Dialed" series.

Jodie even mentions in the comments that its NOT a shorty replacement. Perhaps a new Wet Scream.
