XFusion RV1 - Smoke Chrome and new proto shock

Production is catching up... yup the Smoke Chrome RV1s are now available....

Some shots of last night's arrival... Shweet Creamy Schmoked Shilver...







And yup.. .that mystery prototype shock pop up in the fork packaging too...
Apart from asking for a 8.5 x. 2.5 to be sent over to me for testing- I have absozerolutely no info at this point of time and can only infer certain things based on the outward differences to other non-piggy air shock. Expecting a much firmer damping-- a solution to all those mid stroke wallow or segmented "telescopic" feel plaguing many of the other options in the market now? But like most other air shock in the non piggy class.. If this feels anything like the Vector HLR @ 30% sag but with the dial to firm up control on the climb,then its the final ticket for me on EG-lite.  Will see after mounting this weekend...

Good beefy feel and  not too much of a ho in my book @ 315...

Side by side with a Monarch RT3 for a size comparison. Both are 8.5 x. 2.5
Go figure why and what this new shock would be good for... ;)


Alright .... the sphincter contracting suspense got to be really killing by now..... .. so to spare further agony....
