Rider Review | 2021 Fox DHX2 Coil Shock

Below is a review from a verified customer of the 2021 Fox DHX2 Coil Shock:

    If you own a 2019 Nukeproof Mega 290 and are a bit heavier (I'm 240lbs full pads+water+tools+snacks+whatever) ... the Fox DHX2 (coil shock) in 210x55 REALLY brings this bike alive! Even if you aren't on the Nukeproof Mega 290 but are on a modern enduro with a higher leverage suspension (150mm+ with 55mm and under stroke) you will definitely benefit from a Fox DHX2 shock!

    With the OEM Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate I was having to run 320psi to get 30% sag, and the stiction was nearly impossible to overcome. The bike felt more like a hard tail that would occasionally give and then immediately rebound with the fierceness. The kicky rebound was with rebound damping maxed! The OEM shock just wasn't doing the trick and was going to get me hurt - no adjusting could tame it.

    On my bike I have the Marzocchi Z1 coil fork up front (170mm) and the bike was entirely unbalanced between these two setups. The fork had supple small bump compliance, was predictable, and linear. The rear was a harsh pogo stick that didn't move until it broke free on a huge hit and then bucked you right back.
