      Will never happen. Fox can’t handle any criticism. They just assume that everything they do is the best by far.

    Dunno, '23 x2 lasted a couple months before aerating on my Firebird, sent it in and received a '24... nearly a full season later, still going strong. Feels great, run rebound faster than prior '23 settings.

    Interesting, I’ve just brought my first ebike and got a 2024 giant reign ex1 , and it’s actually my first X2 .
    I had watched a few videos on setting these up and couldn’t work out why the guys on the videos at similar weight to me were putting in so much air pressure, compared to what feels right for me , now I know 😂
    My previous air shock was a super deluxe , so,maybe it feels ok to me because it’s more like what I’m used to .

    I'm not sure what year my X2 is (probably 24, I just bought a new Deviate Claymore) but I have noticed it to be pretty harsh. I may have to try this out.

    I will have to take my 24 apart I just got from fox last week replacing my 22. I put the same air pressure on my 24 and my 22 and my sag was the same. Have not hit a trail yet though.

    • @OtterMTBtech
      @OtterMTBtech  Před 2 měsíci +3

      If you don’t like the way it rides you know what to do. I personally fought the new one for a week, tokens, shock wiz, talking to Susoenion tuners, before realizing that foam ring was a negative token.
      Between Fox’s silent recall and making a drastic change to the shocks air can without notice it was just annoying

    I have a 2020 X2 and i struggle to use more than 60% of the travel. No positive airtokens and 30+% sag.. I wonder what to do to make it more compliant for what i do - mostly trail with ocasional tehnical descents

    Are both those shocks the same tune code? Because one is trunnion and the other standard.

    • @OtterMTBtech
      @OtterMTBtech  Před 2 měsíci

      That was just another shock, but whatever Fox sent back has no tune code.

      @@OtterMTBtech put the serial number (it was located neat the high speed rebound nob on mine) into Fox’s website and it should tell you. My understanding based on some forum discussions is that the foam ring is a tuning option and not standard across all shocks.

    This dude really shows you double the o-rings in the 2024 model, yet he thinks a 5% change in pressure is the "real upgrade" to prevent issues? Alrighty.

      @rrolleman4879 Před 2 měsíci

      Rockshox was harsher, which is what he said in the vid. I would concur. While my '23 X2 was out of commission I replaced it with a RS Super Deluxe Ultimate. It was definitely harsher. It was snappier, for sure, but not near as plush.

      @@rrolleman4879 I had zeb select+ and ultimate at the back on my previous bike, then sold it and went for another bike that came with fox 38 and x2. Didnt like it to much, no complaints obivously but i just felt rockshox did better on big drops. Then i sold that bike and went for Trek slash that came with zeb ultimate front and back with 3.0 damper and never looked back again. Idk its probably individual thing, but i like rockshox more. Maybe because im 6.8 ft 110 kg. Not sure, but i prefer rockshox. Heard good things about vivid, might try. But had tried öhlings coil shock on my friends bike and honestly i think coil trumps any airshock. I heard that coils are better, but i was pretty dam surprized how good it was.

    • @OtterMTBtech
      @OtterMTBtech  Před 2 měsíci

      Nothing is quieter and jumps better than ‘23 Rockshox’s. As long as your cool with no small bump and arm pump. Fox is plush bucket goodness, but as this ‘24 X2 comes out, goes to show less small bump compliance (smaller negative chamber) is more reliable.
      Fox just quietly copies Rockshox and doesn’t tell you about it
      Grip X damper next month!!
