That seems crazy, I never could get a set of DXR's to last more than a season because of the plastic ring on the outboard side that is essential to keeping the plastic body aligned cracks quite easily in my experience. My parts bin has a couple sets from when I ran them a few years ago, I no longer have a complete set without one or both sides cracked.
I guess people still buying them are either set in their ways, lighter and more talented than I am, or riding the north shore trails that... don't have rocks?
I'm also the opposite of CR4W. I prefer fairly light spring action, so that (combined with the metal bodies) might be why I quite like my Saints on the DH bike.
