I'm confused by names.

RS has 6 shock models not including coil/air versions.  Is a Vivid higher/better than a Monarch?  How would anyone know that?  The only two names that tell me remotely what they are in comparison is Delux and Super Deluxe.  I am assuming super is better?  Maybe?

FOx.  DH, Float, X2, DPS, DPX2...DH.  Is that downhill?  DP?  Down piste? pogo? perfect?Is "S" better then X2?  Why?

I do know that shock size has little effect on actual damping and more to do with thermal control to keep damping consistent (assuming you can get the desired damper physically in there).  On air shocks, the larger bodies would make them less progressive and theoretically more tunable for progression, so there is that.  But non of the names tell me which shock is which.

New poster here.  Love the site, and I'm looking forward to this series.

One thing, long CS move static weight bias forward, not rearward as the second paragraph states (in your defense you clean it up later with regards to weight distribution).  I like long CS's.  Current bike has 462mm and never had an issue with it.  Really looking at getting a Titan as it seems like Sultan with much better front end geometry.
