Yeah, like DSD runt where the valves are both on top. With big temp changes, the mezzer sucks down because there is no equalization port, which requires hooking up a pump to the bottom and pulling it apart, which is way more of a hassle than any right side up fork for hooking up on the bottom, let alone the suck down issue.

Yeah, I get it, they have decent damping, but then they just do this bizarre stuff that basically guarantees they wont get any more mainstream. Manitouisms is what I call em. Back in the day they refused to use metal top caps for their preload like marz was and of course those plastic top caps would jam together after a few hard impacts.

IMO, they always get so close to actually good stuff, and then just go to la la land for a few important bits.
Meh, works fine for me, but I came from a Z1 so a Mag 21 probably would have been an improvement.

I was thinking of upgrading my Selva S air spring to the Selva R type but I might just wait for the new Mezzer and get one of them.
But if they swap to a balance port like the rear shock and Suntour I'll go something else, maybe coil.

Sounds like X-fusion is still running a pretty crude coil neg spring going off the top out reports on the 38mm Vengeance, so that's a no go.
