Not only that but it shouldn't leak and feel like crap.gnurider1080 said:looks cool. so i guess its like a romic except its an avy which ups the bling factor.

well when they're touted as so great because of the design and then they change that, is that where the magic damping fluid comes into play?AR_ said:For some reason it will do something the better shocks won't, and everyone will jump on board saying all avy's are crap. Yippee.
Can anyone shoot me a guess as to how this will perform without the huge ass nitrogen res?? I'm not big on shocks, they just feel good or they don't.

...I admit this "elitism" tastes bad in my mouth...but on the other hand I will be honest enough to admit that that is want I want.... :Rik said:I reckon Avalanche and Hope should pair up to do speciality super high end components... that'll give you the elitism that you want
seismic said:Hmmmmm.....in order to rescue the avy clan we can always hope that Avy comes out with some kind of extremely expensive shock.....yes - I admit it does not sound very nice, but if everybody was suddenly riding avy........????

seismic said:Hmmmmm - the more I think about it the more I think it is a little sad/disapointing that Avy had made this "mainstream-move" - there is no doubt that Avy will lose its exclusiveness if the shocks become very common. Of course it will be good for the average user,- but for an Avy-snob like me......yeah - I would prefer it differently, but if this is the (financially) best move for the company I guess there might not be other routes to take....
opinions ???

don't get me wrong, were e-friends-n-all and i dont want to be a complete dic, but come on now. This isnt the Rap/RnB awards red carpet of biking, were not a G-unit ninjas trying to out do eachother with our component bling.
Im glad avy is trying to pack their ride quality into smaller, lighter shocks. I dont want a 3 pound shock - no matter the quality. those days are gone, along with Risse Bigfoots, 24x3.0's and 12" Karpiels (oh,sorry)
Im glad to see avy move in this direction.
yeah, i'm tired of all these brand-X shocks folding in half left and right!.....Trond said:It will take a lot more beating than any other brand out there.
I doubt it. The shock still costs $400, and doesn't have any apparent bells and whistles. The maintstream market prefers bells and whistles to a well-built, custom valved, but still heavy and bland shock.zahgurim said:Looks like a lot more people will be riding Avys now.
Well people will be more willing to try Avy at a resonable price. They still rule the market on durability.ohio said:I doubt it.

They're also not that light.How said:ohio- one thing about avalanche is they really aren't heavy... i'd like to see the weight with a Ti spring, i'm sure it gives the other shocks on the market a run for the money.
uh huh......Cant Climb said:Earth shattering new product for $400.......whoever buys a 9.5 X 3.0 PM me and i may be interested in buying your 'old' shock for cheap.....
Yes that would be amazing for DJ bikes for sure.Pip3r said:too bad they arent making it in smaller strokes/eye to eye. I think thered be a bigger market for something like that on slalom/short travel bikes

That's what I'm thinking. It seems kind of strange that they would go back to an older shock design. I'm not going to rag on this shock, since I haven't ridden it myself, so I don't have firsthand expirence on how it feels.Pip3r said:too bad they arent making it in smaller strokes/eye to eye.
