Me and my friends have three Selva S and R.
The article actually miss the fact, that the Red, Green and Electric Blue CTS act as hydraulic bottom-out by the design.
CTS mentioned above will eat any drop, compression you will ever encounter. I have all the seven CTS, and the Green and Blue are superb blends of chatter removers and bottom-out resistors).
If you need the midstroke support, go with the Green. If you’d like to have the half of the travel super smooth — go with the Blue.
Electric Blue is the most interesting CTS. It has a huge support in the mid travel, doesn’t dive, but still eats chatter. It’s like if you close LSC and HSC on the Lyrik, add 4 tokens. But it works like a charm, and the Lyrik with these settings will destroy your hands in a minute.
Rebound is fine with quite wide range. Some years ago there were some reports, but it’s fine.
I don’t feel any unnecessary flex weighting 113 kg w/o gear on my Turbo Levo on MK1 Selva S, so I assume that you wouldn’t feel it too. You will simply forget that it’s there, so you you’ll stop noticing any flex.
As for the comparison with any sramshox or fox — Selva in any of it’s versions is a far cry in terms of performance as long as you what to completely retune it for each CTS.
