Whenever I see or hear about the Status, I automatically think of Switzb15! Thanks for the feedback on the Process review and your question about the shootout, Ryan. A shootout out like you are describing would be fantastic. I will defer to the overlords of shootout production for an answer!

I’ve logged a lot of rides on a Kona process 153 and tested the Canfield for a few months. I’d say the that the Canfield suspension platform is way more supple and active. Sometimes I feel like my Kona is more nappy in corners, but I also have more time on the hike to develop that skill. I don’t have any experience with banshee bikes yet.

No, I did not add any spacers. I'm glad you asked because I double checked and I was actually closer to 135 psi. I started at 125 psi and went up. At 135 psi the shock sits right around 30% sag when I am carrying a loaded hip bag with full water bottle on the bag as well. We went ahead and corrected that in the review. In the Cane Creek manual it recommends starting at 75% of rider weight. For me that would actually be around 124 psi. So, while the Tilt did like more pressure, so to speak, I did not have the same experience that you are having. I wonder if there is something strange going on with your shock pump, or the shock itself. You can check that out those recommendations here on page15 of the instruction manual. https://canecreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/AAC0252_DBKitsuma-Manual_Master.pdf
Thanks for the comment!

Do it! The Tilt is definitely fun, it's a two-wheeled party!

I totally get that, but I think having it under the down tube is better than not having it. I carried a bottle on my hip bag most of the time and when I needed two bottles I used the cage. Besides, it blocks all of the dirt from getting your down tube dirty…lol.

Thanks, and I agree!
