Has anyone ridden the new RP23 yet?

I am starting to get upgrade-itus lately when it comes to my ASR5. I've done the little bits; wheels, new stoppers, stem, handlebar, seat post, tires, etc.

Years ago I had a Specialized Enduro. Great bike, lots of fun, rode the hell out of it. After Katrina I sent the Fox RL that was on the back to Push, and when it came back it took a great bike to being an amazing bike. So I'd been half considering sending the RP23 on my Yeti back to them, but I don't want to be off the bike right now as this is riding season in Phoenix. Soon summer will be here, and I'll be tanning my whale flesh next to the pool.

If you've played with it, how'd the new one ride? Would it be an upgrade worth the $420 or so?

I believe that the shock on your bike is valved for your Yeti and in order to get a new shock for your bike you may have to order it through Yeti. Just buy a service kit and keep what you got going good, maximize what you currnetly have. The ASR5 has a fairly high compression ratio and a off the shelf RP23 may not work so well for you.

Don't know about the 2012, but the 2011 Pro Pedal does not "lock out" the shock like an older RP2. Kind of a disappointment.

Call Push and order the "Monarch RT/AM."

Seriously. It's awesome, and cheaper.

I might just send what I have to Push if its "special." Which for Yeti, I am not surprised.

Maybe I'll keep stacking my paper and buy a SB66 to go with my fleet of Yetis.

I remember wanting to punch my computer every time someone said "send it to Push." I got over it and sent them my 09 RP23, and became a believer. I just got that Monarch, and it's even better.

True Story. I have the PP on the hardest setting on my Nickel and I honestly can't feel the difference between on and off.

It'll slow down when I turn it on, not as bobby, but I'd like it if it locked all the way out. I honestly think the fact that I could lock out the RP2 on my Enduro saved my life one time in Mississippi. No exaggeration.

I got a 2012 Specialized Stumpjumper EVO about a month ago that came with an RP23 with adaptive logic. The adaptive logic is kind of back wards from a normal RP23, but I like it so far. Not sure if it is worth spending the money on though.
