I was looking at the 2003 stab primo, and it has a custom valved shock it says. I was wondering if this is the production version of what all the pros ran this year (intense and yeti had it i beleve) and also if anyone had ridden it; how does it feel in comparison to the old one, etc...
2003 fox rear shock
- Thread starter realityDH1
- Start date
from what ive heard the new fox DOES NOT have more adjustments than the 5th, still uses a shim system similar to 01, but with other changes to the internals. As to that fancy remote resevoir - avalanche rip off. And for a price rumored to be between 800-1000 - no thanks, ill take a 5th or avy. All this aside, it still should perform better than the current vanilla w/o a doubt, and hold up better maybe too. It should work just fine on your stinky, better than a vanilla rc prob.
Come again? There is no such thing as "and Avalanche ripoff" because there is not one NEW aspect to an avalanche shock. That is not a dig. They use MX technology that has been around and been proven for quite some time, just downsized for bicycles. Smart move by them if you ask me.
The difference between them and other bike shocks is NOT technology. It is quality of build and materials, and custom valving. Think of it as comparing two bikes, one with standard geometry out of hi-ten steel, and the other custom built for you out of 4130 chromoly...
