If I can't get the locally, then I order them online.

The 6001 Enduro was ~6.05usd a piece. 6001 NSK was ~3.82. (2019 prices with 1:1.75 exchange rate applied) 

And since nobody was importing Enduro in my country, I had to order them internationally, which made them even more expensive.

The ones I bought have a cage. You'll have a hard time finding full complement bearings from the big brands. I don't know much about bearings, to be honest, but I doubt you'll be able to overload a standard caged bearing.

The biggest enemy for a bearing is water ingres, so tighter tolerances and better seals are more important than bunch of extra balls.

Technically I tried 2 products and gave em 6 (4x6001 + 2x608) chances. 

They are expensive and they suck compared to bearings from other brands. 

The end.

P. S. I wasn't aware that they make other stuff besides bearings. Now I realize that my first comment is inappropriate. I'm talking only for their bearings.

That's just my personal experience with Enduro LLU Max and bearings from other companies (NSK and Koyo, both of which are cheaper).

Here's a few pictures for the curious.

The Enduros were full of dirt, the grease have been washed out, the balls were rusty and overall the bearings were barely rotating and skipped a lot. On the other hand, the NSKs and Koyo' are like in the day I pressed them in.

If you look closely, you can see the massive groove in the inner race of NSK. And you really need to apply some force to put back the seal. The same goes for Koyo. Enduro have much smaller groove and you can take off/put back the seal with no effort at all.

Downvote me as much as you like, people, i'm just sharing my experience with Enduro. But if you make the effort and do some research, people are generally not happy with them and recommend bearings from companies like NSK, NTN, FAG, SKF.

Everything from Enduro is overpriced piece of junk.

> TRP told me it isn’t serviceable

That's a no-no for me.

When can we expect the review?

There is no way a hex wrench with such a handle is more comfortable...
Wrenches with a sliding T-handle are great, but the L-shaped one is just fine as well.

Sweeeeeet build! I bet it rides like a magic carpet.
The chain looks... ugh, give it some love!

Fair enough, POE is totally a matter of personal preference, but you already have a superb suspension and even it will benefit greatly from a lower unsprung weight.

The New Zealand rep told him the 2022 has an all new air piston, damper seal head, bladder, air bleeders, firmer OTT spring seat (to prevent rattle), and a modified standard compression tune.

That's actually quite a bit of improvements! It's good to hear that DVO continue to improve their products.

Topaz got major updates too.

^ This is the channel of that New Zealand rep, he's awesome! 

Thanks for the provided info, @mammal!

I love my DVO Diamond, but would prefer the Onyx for most of my riding. Did you get the latest updated model, or the older stock? I've the new one is amazing after all the changes they made.

Updated model? Changes? What changes?! :o
