Spanks a coil fork. Nice smooth ride.

I bought this fork to replace the rigid for on my Framed 27.5+ bike with 3" tires. I have a bikes with a SUNTOUR XCM, XCR, and a rockshox Revelation. This Raidon shock absolutely spanks the xcm and xcr shock. No question about that. It's every bit as smooth as my Revelation shock. But it doesn't ramp up nearly as well. Dampens great but it's a much more linear shock, not nearly as progressive as my Revelation. But for a hundred bucks i didn't expect it to compete with a 600 dollar shock. That saying, for trail riding, small jumps and such this thing is awesome. Smooth and supple. The 3 inch tires take care of the real small bumps. And the raidon smooths every thing else out nicely. I guess of you air it up allot jumping bigger stuff would be fine although it's a bit flexi, but not too bad. It'll soak up ruts and roots like a pro. I did service on the shock before i even installed it. I did have minimal grease so I lubed it up nicely with stp oil treatment, (slick and sticky). It coats very nicely. I weigh 180 and ride very aggressively and this shock feels great for what it is and the price. This thing is super easy to pull apart and clean and grease. So all i can say is of your on the fence about this shock, just buy it. If your spending more that 300 buy something else. But for a 100 bucks or even more it's a great shock. And it's also pretty light. Not crazy light. But better than i thought it would be. All in all, a great purchase. I would definitely buy again.Read full review
