X-Fusion

The Good:

Price
Installation

The Bad:

Quality
Warranty
Service

Overall Review: I bought this dropper based on good reviews and was sorely disappointed. It failed on my second ride! I am not a super aggressive rider, and only rode it on XC trails.  The worst part was the service center’s attitude when I called. They blamed me and also stated that the manufacturer &nbs...

X-Fusion H3C Rear Shock (product)

The new H3C has been slimmed down everywhere possible. It also uses a lighter spring material which brings it closer to the weight of high-volume air shocks. With the weight in check, it comes down to cost and performance. Listen for a straight-shooter's perspective after three months of ride...

2020 Specialized Enduro Expert (bike check)

Posted by alex.hinkson on 9/25/2019 3:14 AM

The Good:

-Light
-All-black body and shaft fits with all bikes

The Bad:

-Reliability is awful : had to be sent twice for warranty in 400kms
-Rebound dial stops "clicking" after a while so it's hard to count clicks
-Not much adjustment (PRO R version)

Overall Review: When I bought my Marin Rift Zone ('18) last year, I heard that the X-Fusion tune was pretty good for this bike and I did not think about my friend's warranty stories with their products. I even liked the idea to try this brand's shock to see how it would fare compared to the more mainstream Fox ...

Posted by deadrabbit on 3/8/2019 2:46 AM

The Good:

Value
Reliability
Performance

The Bad:

Long insertion depth
Finicky remote
Remote feels a little cheap

Overall Review: We have 2 Manics in our house,  my wife has the 125mm that I got for her birthday a year and a half ago and I have a 150mm that picked up at the start of this season to replace my Reverb. I bought the Manic 3 days before one up released their dropper post. The Manic was still close to $80 ...

Posted by Damo76 on 12/22/2018 1:07 PM

The Good:

Reliable, smooth, cheap

The Bad:

“Only” 150 mm drop max

Overall Review: I have owned two of these, a 125 and a 150. Both have been 100% reliable, the 150 over a season and the 125 over two. They work as well as the day I bought them. Knowing that servicing is as easy as popping in an inexpensive replacement cartridge, though the post is so reliable I bet they haven’...
