Just put this together last night. Needs some more work but it's ready for a test ride. I have 2 other "normal" trail bikes but they aren't new.
New "trail bike" rides for 2015 (No DH bikes allowed!)
- Thread starter kickstand
- Start date
holy shit dan-o that thing is dialed.
(unrideable, but dialed!)
First impressions on the X2?

First impressions on the X2?
That's clearly down to the unrideable W-shaped leverage curve.
Please let us know how the X2 performs and which organs you have to sell to obtain one.
i'll have something new to contribute here soon...
The X2 is a massive improvement.
Bolted it on at the trailhead, aired to body weight with baseline settings.
Great support, much more lively, so nice having total control over shock settings.
Magnitudes less pedal strikes, no wallow, each click makes definitive change in feel.
No notchiness like my DBa had, just supple active goodness.
10/10, will bang again.
what bike do you have it on?
banshee darkside w/ccdba at pricepoint for $1600 right now...so tempting...
this is semi related to my above post
Would need new cranks and prolly an angleset. Not sure if it would still be too dh-ish for the 85% of the time I'm on local xc-ish trails. I don't have a problem pedaling my 34# unrideable, probably misaligned uzzi right now though...
Yeap, as dan-o said, making it Reign!
how does the new Fox compare to the Vivid Air RC2 ?? i have one on my 167 and love it
I only have the Vivid coil and Debonair for comparison on this bike, sorry.
In fact, think I may have had most modern shocks, apart from the Vivid air.
actually, could you explain in which ways the X2 improves on the Debonair? Can you also compare it to the CCDBA? I'm in the market for a new shock, I think, and I'm not sure I need to go all the way to a DH-shock for my trail bike. My DH runs are not that long, and I rarely do enduro races. But I'm a heavy guy (215) and my trails are chunky... and I like to go fast on my short dh runs!
How does the X2 compare to the Vivid coil charging rock gardens?

You've been living in that place a while now. You really gotta get some furniture man.
Dude I am a photographer shooting bike crap and other sporting goods. Meaning I make jack crap for $$$$ its just the lights and white walls. I am taking donations now. The money will go to purchase myself an Ultima in the 1250HP variant....
Don't like. There are no walls.
That's another dimension.
And it needs a couch!

No walls and couch. The bongshed in another dimension!
How do you like it so far? I'm thinking of getting one.
Are you asking about The Following?
Oh there are walls! Just don't invite the Columbians over for a night of fun. They will loose their minds when their powder goes into full camo mode....
The Following?
Yeah,sorry thought I had quoted you.
