On my three bike I have a V1 170, a V2 210, and a fox transfer factory 150.
The V2 is better than the V1 but neither has the "Swiss watch" feel that the fox does. Not even close.
I totally agree with trustywheels, I'd pay 400-450 bucks for a smoother version.
I buy them for the low stack height despite the fairly mediocre action.
I actually might swap the 210 for a fox 175. It's my hardtail that has the fox on it and every time I ride it I'm reminded of just how much smoother that post is.
Will see how the V2 does in terms of maintenance needs. I have about 6 rides on it and it's ok at this point. The V1 needs a re-lube about every 6 rides.
