that‘s some BS! check his video on IG, he slipped on a pretty fast and rough section… not failure on the bike.

Dakota Norton crashed this weekend and apparently broke his bike so much so that he had to ride the production Intense m29 that he went onto take the win.

That would be a huge improvement on where we are currently!. The new RS shocks are something I think most places feel they can get behind. Can you also do shock bodies for the air shocks with no sag markings?. That would improve things massively for both RockShox, distributors and all service centres. 8 shock bodies are needed just to cover the 57.5-65mm stroke shocks currently and most are never in stock at the distributor.

OK- working on getting you guys sorted. Should eventually be able to order the travel-changing parts individually: -HBO 'Posts'- there are 6 or 7 different ones and a 'decoder' that tells you which one goes on what stroke shock -BLANK shafts with no sag graphics so you can stock less shafts -Plastic travel reducer discs (2.5, 5, 7.5 thicknesses) What else do you need?

Super impressive for Dak to overcome that sort of mad scramble on Saturday and still have his head on straight for finals on Sunday. Ditto for Frida on someone else's bike. Thanks for the great reporting, Vital.

Push shocks are built specifically for the intended bike and not just as X stroke, so there are different length HBO cones internally and different spring seats externally. They are chosen to suit the specific leverage rate of each bike so the bump stop progression and HBO engagement gets tuned for the application. So if you compared the shocks built for different bikes with 60mm stroke there can be at least 3 or 4 different configurations of those 2 parts alone. This is changed by a service center at time of sale or during reconfiguration, so while it is only...

The Grady fella who’s riding it seems to have exclusively ridden treks in all his instagram posts before that. Not that it means anything…

You guys are right- the HBO features on both air and coil make it difficult to change stroke length. The coil especially can get into a situation where you have metal-on-metal contact if you took a 57.5 shock and cut the reducers out to make it go to 65 stroke. Basically to have all the shocks get the last 20% of stroke have HBO you need to lengthen internal parts as a 57.5 shock stops 7.5mm further apart than a 65 stroke shock. If you did the same to the air shock it would have the HBO active for way...

Air shocks are stroke specific too. Or at least you need to change the needle to fit the new stroke. It is unfortunate to some extent, it does create more SKUs, but it's the name of the game. The needle (for air shocks, the damper body for the coils, so swap that around below) is x mm long and engages y mm off the top. The same y for a 57,5 mm and for a 65 mm stroke shock. If we say the last 5 mm of the stroke are HBOd (didn't look at any numbers, so guestimating here), keeping...

Too bad coils are stroke specific with the new hbo, i know a lot of people buying 60 stroke and cutting the spacers to use full 65 because stock was nearly impossible to find or they bought the wrong shock
