I mainly ride undulating flow trails with chunky tree roots in Alaska, but do a big big trip every year towards the moab/colorado/northwest area. The big factor is I broke my back and neck 3 years ago whitewater kayaking, so I'm looking to soften the hard ride of the softtail up. I would love to have a lighter bike like the Ripley, but the extra cush of the Ripmo would probably feel better on my back. Any suggestions?

Always seemed to occur in cold weather riding which I hear “stiffens” the seals and can make aeration more likely to occur. Probably lots of variable specific to frame design beyond just a yoke mounted shock but I’ve stayed away from the Ripmo because of this. Otherwise seems like a great bike. Thoughts?

Hey Jeff! Just ordered a V2S so I was excited to see your video, question I hope you’d answer: I had a Ripmo AF before with the DVO air shock and loved it. It was very tight and responsive which I liked. I’m a very active/poppy rider and don’t want something that anchors me to the ground. The new bike has the Fox Factory shock but I can swap it out for a DVO as it’s being built. How do you feel about the stock Fox shock? Should I leave it and just add spacers or swap it out for the DVO?
@travelthenarrowtrail86602 жыл бұрын
I'm not Jeff of course, but I've had the V2 in both colors since it came out. I would go with the DVO Topaz Gen. 3 shock. It's easier to set up, its lighter than the Fox and it is more reliable than the Fox. I'm speaking if this is the Fox X2. Many of my friends new X2 shocks have blown up and it was not the old one but the new one. They all reported that it took about 2-3 weeks before their shock returned. I've run DVO Topaz and never one issue and they are totally customizable by way of the bladder air volume and volume spacers that can easily be installed for more poppier ride or more plush ride or more midstroke support. Not sure what the issue is with fox right now. Plus DVO is easy to contact over the phone, an actual person will answer and they are super helpful and passionate about bikes. If you are that very "active/poppy rider" you'll enjoy the DVO. My 2 cents... Hopefully Jeff will jump in here.

Jeff is a better rider than me. That being said I herd him say he set his sag at 30% on the evil offering. I have owned the remote version to the yeti SB 130 as well as the Mojave white switchblade. I just built up an offering and went with Rockshox for the first time. Set my SAG to the recommended 20% and although it is plusher, I feel it is much popular Set at 20% then Jeff’s review gave it. I absolutely loved my ripmo undeniably but I feel that the more plush suspension and added traction makes the evil a much more capable bike. Also, you can get a one and a half degree angle set through evil, which makes it slacker than the Ritmo if you need the extra capability. I always find it interesting that rider Waite and writing style drastically changes the opinion of Mike’s performance. It doesn’t make either opinion right or wrong. Just interesting. Great review Jeff.
@mrvwbug44232 жыл бұрын
The Ripmo sits in a middle ground of which rider it is best for. The Evil is probably better for smaller and lighter riders. The stock Ripmo is best for someone around Jeff's size, and can be made decent for a larger rider with a cascade link, but a stock Ripmo is probably a little too linear for a 200+lb rider who likes to get sendy. I say this as a 200+lb rider who rides a cascade linked Ripmo as my only bike and have over 500 bike park miles on it on top of several thousand trail miles.

Is the cascade link migrating over to the new bike? Your review is spot on. I've been on my Ripmo for 2 years now and it is happiest on a flow trail with a lot of elevation change. And yes the RIpmo cornering feel can be a bit vague if you don't pump the bike through the corner, the Ripmo is a bike that you have to be active on to really get it to come alive, it's not like a Stumpy Evo that almost rides better with a passive riding style.

@JeffKendallWeed2 жыл бұрын
Hey Paul, it's worth playing around with, as they can really change the feel of the last 1/4 stroke of suspension. On air shocks, as you reduce volume, you increase progression. Bike brands get so many complaints from consumers that are seemingly "unable to bottom out their bike" that they often spec a really linear setting for the OEM configuration. The thinking is that the smaller group of advanced riders that will actually need more progression is already aware of the ease of changing air volume via the reducer kits, and can then tune the bike to their preference, but the beginners would have no idea and would eventually just have a sub par overall experience. Anyhow, here's a link to the volume reducers, they can make a very noticeable difference and are quite affordable: bit.ly/FoxX2volumereducerJKW
