    Dunno, '23 x2 lasted a couple months before aerating on my Firebird, sent it in and received a '24... nearly a full season later, still going strong. Feels great, run rebound faster than prior '23 settings.

    Interesting, I’ve just brought my first ebike and got a 2024 giant reign ex1 , and it’s actually my first X2 .
    I had watched a few videos on setting these up and couldn’t work out why the guys on the videos at similar weight to me were putting in so much air pressure, compared to what feels right for me , now I know 😂
    My previous air shock was a super deluxe , so,maybe it feels ok to me because it’s more like what I’m used to .

    Interesting. I guess that explains why I had to add more air when I installed the 2024 version. I've been screwing with the settings for months on the 2024 and still haven't gotten it to feel as smooth as my 2021 did.

    I will have to take my 24 apart I just got from fox last week replacing my 22. I put the same air pressure on my 24 and my 22 and my sag was the same. Have not hit a trail yet though.

      If you don’t like the way it rides you know what to do. I personally fought the new one for a week, tokens, shock wiz, talking to Susoenion tuners, before realizing that foam ring was a negative token.
      Between Fox’s silent recall and making a drastic change to the shocks air can without notice it was just annoying

    I'm not sure what year my X2 is (probably 24, I just bought a new Deviate Claymore) but I have noticed it to be pretty harsh. I may have to try this out.

      @@OtterMTBtech put the serial number (it was located neat the high speed rebound nob on mine) into Fox’s website and it should tell you. My understanding based on some forum discussions is that the foam ring is a tuning option and not standard across all shocks.

    Fox show it in there video the difference in their Test lab all the Shims they packed into it they said and show so im guessing your saying this is wrong? Its just im looking to click buy on one and been hamging off to find out more on the 2024 shock as said to be a massive improvement on the 2023 model that has all the problems? Don't you just love salespersons 😂

    • @OtterMTBtech
      @OtterMTBtech  11 днів тому +1

      I’m sure it’s all different, gotta read past the marketing, this negative token the video is based around is the feel difference.
      The ‘24 has 2 rings in the seal head so it’s reliable

    • @EMTBonsai
      @EMTBonsai 4 дні тому

      I have been watching other teardowns in French on some channels. They have the new cover with seal rings, but I have not seen that nag token in any others, so I am wondering if they just got a rebuild and not a 2024 replacement. But they do have the thicker trunnion and side bleed screw weird!
      I managed to get one pretty good deal on a brand-new warranty replacement 2024 version the other day from someone. I'm just waiting on it coming! I'm a heavier rider myself. My new Float X on the ID says it has a 0.9 spacer in there, so I am going to try what you said in another vid with the 0.6 to see if it's any better. It doesn't feel like a 6 grand full-suspension just yet, but I was used to coils all my days. Air shocks are new to me, really! Honestly not impressed! But then not set up right yet just the sag but man it's like a hard tail with sus seat post! I grabbed the 24 x2 because of the price I got it for but still on hunt for 205x65 coil! Interested in that jade X you reviewed jsut hate the colour green 😂

    This dude really shows you double the o-rings in the 2024 model, yet he thinks a 5% change in pressure is the "real upgrade" to prevent issues? Alrighty.

      Rockshox was harsher, which is what he said in the vid. I would concur. While my '23 X2 was out of commission I replaced it with a RS Super Deluxe Ultimate. It was definitely harsher. It was snappier, for sure, but not near as plush.

      @@rrolleman4879 I had zeb select+ and ultimate at the back on my previous bike, then sold it and went for another bike that came with fox 38 and x2. Didnt like it to much, no complaints obivously but i just felt rockshox did better on big drops. Then i sold that bike and went for Trek slash that came with zeb ultimate front and back with 3.0 damper and never looked back again. Idk its probably individual thing, but i like rockshox more. Maybe because im 6.8 ft 110 kg. Not sure, but i prefer rockshox. Heard good things about vivid, might try. But had tried öhlings coil shock on my friends bike and honestly i think coil trumps any airshock. I heard that coils are better, but i was pretty dam surprized how good it was.

    • @OtterMTBtech
      @OtterMTBtech  4 місяці тому

      Nothing is quieter and jumps better than ‘23 Rockshox’s. As long as your cool with no small bump and arm pump. Fox is plush bucket goodness, but as this ‘24 X2 comes out, goes to show less small bump compliance (smaller negative chamber) is more reliable.
      Fox just quietly copies Rockshox and doesn’t tell you about it
      Grip X damper next month!!
