I agree with Lee, in that you should try your best to tune it and ride it before you think about an “upgrade”. It is easy to do, but you just need to know your way around an air canister. But that is for trail stuff.įor DJ you might be able to adjust pressures as the environment is more controlled.įilling the outer air chamber with thin plastic “shims” will net you more mid-stroke support. The other issue I had was hard cornering: some times the shock would sink deep in the travel in the turn, sometimes it stayed high, sometimes sunk deep at the apex changing geometry and lines – it was inconsistent. For me it was so bad, I would bottom my pedal to the ground on technical uphills. The problem with the DHX Air is weak mid-stroke. For me, the bike went from one of the worst I’ve ridden (the poor fork is included in this) to the absolute best I’ve ridden. I have an 06 base Enduro, and moved to a coil. Don’t think for a second that newer/better parts will magically make everything perfect. I believe you can get a DHX coil to fit your Enduro frame.
