Curious to know if anyone has ridden the newer style DHX2 and found it was THAT much better than the previous generation DHX2.

The adjusters work a lot better. And by better, I mean there's a very even change in force with each click at the beginning of the range versus the end of the range. Dyno plots confirm this too.

It doesn't seem to snap shafts/eyelets as often either....so there's that.

The new X2 is a huge improvement but I haven't gotten on the updated DHX2 yet.

Well.
I've got the old float x2 and I've always been been underwhelmed by it
Theoretically the improved non poppet based high speed should be an improvement
Friend has a new dhx2 it blew the rod seal with only 3 or 4 bike park trips
I replaced the u cup seal with a polyeurethane o ring like the float x2 uses.
So far it's made it through a week at the bike park

Another friend has a new Float x2
Looks like air has made it from the can into the damper....
