Same. Anyone have experience with the MRP damper?
Got one in a Zeb, vastly prefer the Lift over charger 2.1 or 3. Generates more damping without the harshness. Haven't pulled it apart yet but apparently it's dead simple to bleed, MRP sells shim stacks as well if you want to change tunes.

Finally got the Grip X2 installed in a 38. Early returns are it does what it says on the tin. 5 clicks of high speed comp (out of 10) to start and it rode considerably higher in it's travel than the '21-23 (0 clicks) or '24 Grip2 (2 clicks) dampers, with no noticeable additional harshness.

I have one on the way for a Fox 40. Will share impressions once I get a few days on it, but the usefulness of that information will probably be limited to other old/slow people.

My 2022 40 kills my hands. I already had 3 carpet tunnel surgeries. Are any of these dampers "softer"? To get the sag where I need it and to not blow thru the travel on a groomer, I have the settings where they need to be, but my hands are sore half way down the mountain.

your 2022 has basically no damping, there is no softer.
you may achieve softer with some compression damping and less spring.

The 38 version of the Grip X2 doesn't feel like it passes significantly less feedback on small chatter to me. Have you considered a Dorado? I had the previous version and that's the most supple modern fork I've tried.
