X-Fusion Vector Coil HLR Rear Shock
The Good

Plush and fluid all the way through its travel. Zero catch when suspension is first activated. The mid stroke doesn't blow through its travel. This also enhanced its pedalling abilities. I had the elka stage five before, but it would stick when first engaging and it blew through the travel too...

The Bad

Depending on your preferences in riding there could be one thing that you might not like- or you may like it if it suits your riding style. The last part of the rebound before it returnes to length slows down. It doesn't give you a pop off the lip of a jump. But at the same time it won't buck you if...

Overall Review
This shock does what it was designed for. I think it works as well as the best rear shocks out there and better in some ways. I am very impressed so far. The lower cost in this case dosen't mean less.

X-Fusion 2010 Vengeance HLR Suspension Fork
The Good

Quality The adjustability of the HLR. The plush Feel, smooth and perfect ramp up

The Bad

nothing after hard use almost everyday.

Overall Review
Being internally adjustable from 80 to 170MM And having all the HLR nobs it can go on virtually any Front or dual suspension bike whit 170MM or less. To me its the best fork to have on any bike form your dirt jump bike to your all mtn trail bike all the way up to your 170MM Freeride Rig.I currently have one of these set at 140MM on my Black Market killswitch its truly an amazing fork.Being a Slightly Newer Smaller company X fusion was forced to makeextremely Quality products, and they do just that!

X-Fusion 2011 Hilo Seatpost
The Good

Customer Service?

The Bad

Only lasts about 5 rides before it needs to be sent back to the factory for a rebuild

Overall Review
I rode this post for a month and half. Within that month and a half I sent it back to be serviced because it was pucking oil a total of 3 times. Granted the boys at X-fusion were prompt with their service but the level of reliability is unacceptable, IMO. Don't waste your time or money, buy a KS or Reverb. X-fusion may make some cool forks and shocks but their seatpost sucks.
