I used to race Mountain Bikes before I had enough money to get a quad. For many years now Fox has been using this same basic design for full suspension mountain bike shocks, everything from daily cruizers to $6000 downhill racers. They are well known as one of the best shock manufacturers in the MB circle.

fakeracing,
On your 1st post you say something about the axle bending, well same happend to mine and it seems to just be the left side. Its not too big of a bend but if you pay attention to it you can notice it.

 

There are only 2 of them around hear that i have seen, and One is done to teh nuts and nothgin seems to break on that, and the other one is stock and he has had pretty good luck with that so far,
I hope this isnt a problem with them, i was looking at getting one fo these or a trx next year or so,
but ya keep us posted if ya hear of any one else havint this problem

 

Hicks, Thanks for the info if I recall it was the left side on his as well[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] sounds like it might be a bit of a weak spot on the yammy. were hoping that the lonestar replacement will do the trick.

 

i sure hope so because those things are really expensive aren't they???
what do they cost?

 

I think it was in the Mid-300 range. Not a huge dollar amount by it self but when you consider that the rear rims lasted only a bit longer the cost of this thing starts to add up fast. I guess its a bit of a trade off, claimed dry weight out of the box and after the purchase durability[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] The good news is that the motor screams!

 

except thier about $1300, for elka triple rates, compression,adjustable,rebound adjust
