I wonder, would this have anything to do with the 2010 RP23 shock with boostvalve? I've found a number of reviews praising the thing, saying it's a big improvement from previous years. Here's just one.

I wonder if thats air's answer to coil for aggressive big boys?

The DHX 5 Air I had last year drove me back to my DHX 5 coil.

I had to rub my eyes. I have the same bike, same helmet and the same camelbak. Awesome!
Still rockin' with the Slayer occasionally.

I'm eager how the new one rides. Interesting that the last years linkage has been replaced with a fairly common design.

hmmm, I wonder if there is a way to retrofit an older RP23 with the boostvalve, I've heard lots of good stuff about it too..

Is there a Vancouver in Taiwan?! I had no idea!!

Nothing sums up my life's achievements like my stuffed corpse, suplexing a cougar.

The lead designer on this bike was actually Jamie Stafford.

The bottom bracket ovalized on this bike and we warranteed it for an element. Lee's favorite xc bike!

Looking to ride the shore but don't know where to go?
