That may change with the new slayer though. I wouldn't call it a freeride bike, it looks to be as capable as any other enduro rig.

you remember that Jared Graves Stumpy weighed in at 37 lbs? Inserts, DH tires and coil suspension add up quickly. There is no reason why the Enduro riders of Rocky shouldn't be riding this.

It's funny, people often say they "want better damping" as if for example a more expensive fork is going to inherently have damping that "feels smoother" or whatever. If you look at how hydraulic damping actually works, you'll soon understand that more damping will always equal a harsher ride, especially when talking about any kind of high-speed suspension event (talking about shaft speed, not the speed of the bike although the two are often related). Damping in and of itself is not something "smooth", even though it involves moving oil around. A spring is something very dynamic. It resists compression...

A couple things to add in no particular order some relevant some maybe not: 'wide open' does not mean no damping, it just means the least restrictive end of whatever damping range is available in your fork/shock. If you really want to know what wide open feels like take your fork cartridge out, but good luck trying to ride on anything but pavement. The best damper in the world cannot correct for a poorly set up spring. You really do want to be using your available travel, but that doesn't mean bottoming out a specific number of times. 'mid stroke...

Great question Brines. I'm totally bought into the spring as the more important system. I think you should do 90% of your tuning with the spring and let damping do the last 10%. I learned this the hard way in 2014 at the Leogang World Cup. I was getting destroyed by the high-speed chatter and constant small to medium-sized holes on the track. I couldn't hold a line anywhere and I could barely hold onto the bars. Turns out that growing up in Oregon where all the DH trails are smooth and flat didn't help me set up a bike...

Allen, you referenced adding spacers to increase mid-stroke support--that's not true and wanted to point it out just to clarify for other readers. It's important to point out the myth (that I've heard repeated in Youtube videos and in written web articles) that adding tokens is for mid-stroke. .... Adding Tokens/spacers have very minimal effect on the mid-stroke. They affect and are used for ramp up the latter third of the travel. If you add spacers and keep your pressure the same, it may feel like there is more mid-stroke support (there definitely is not less!). That said, the point...

i know nothing about the riding skills of the owner, but a minion SS on the front is more than suspect and pretty much unrideable if you use the bike the right way. none the less sweet ride
