HollyBoni: "if you like to fiddle with your suspension all the time get the X2, if you want easier set up, and a set and forget shock get the SD."
Why does more adjustment suddenly mean it has to be fiddled with? I'd say the X2 is actually more "set it and forget it", because with less knobs it's more just "forget it" since there is less to set! Lots of people like to say, for example, an "R" model is very "set & forget" because it has just one knob, but I see it as "forget about setting it up for you" because has just one knob (and that one knob is pretty much linked to spring rate, not exactly a setting that needs dialing in)
I think you contradicted yourself a bit too: the SD isn't easier to set up: since it's lacking external adjustments (relative to the X2) it may require internal adjustments to truly be "set up" as ideally as the X2 could be. That's not easier.
