Roco WC air VS. DHX 5.0 coil

Read below. I wanted this deleted, but I've decided to get this rolling again.

ummmmm ok :lol:

Yeah, I was gonna discuss the pros and cons. But I already have the Roco, it works fine and its light :)

Edit your post, go to advanced options, and there is a delete button there.

i'd be interested to know the pros and cons, I've considered trying a roco air instead of coil.

I've been debating this more and more, I've found the roco to chatter at high speed with my 2009 Team DH and there is minimal tunability.

I'm very interested in going to the DHX not only for the tunability but also I love the reliability of Fox over the reliability of the Marzocchi shock thus far.

Any downsides of going to the DHX?

I've got a Roco TST on my AM bike, so I don't know how it performs in a flat out DH application, but as an AM shock, it's been fantastic. I've tried a DHX on my bike too, and there was no comparison, the Roco felt more active, didn't wallow and the TST is much better than the Pro Pedal in every way.

I've had a Roco World Cup coil on my 2009 Team DH and the performance has been outstanding. Having tried both the DHX and the Roco I think the Roco is the better performer. The Roco felt more supple, but more controlled under large hits to boot. That being said I did have some reliability problems with the Roco over the past couple years I've been using them.

roco wc is pretty plush, the rebound could be abit faster, but it's a solid shock. It feels more active then DHX IMO, but there are other shocks i'd like to try.

I'm a pretty firm believer that air shocks don't really have a room in downhill application. It's just not consistent enough, and the small bump sensitivity will always suffer.
for general riding, or shorter travelled bikes they are fantastic.
