Additional Info

Shock is 210x55 instead of 210x52.5 to increase travel from 130mm to 137mm. Decided to go with the XM 1501 on the front for weight savings, but EX 1501 in the rear since it's a bit beefier to handle gnarlier terrain.

Lovely build!

Can you compare Progressive Spring with stock DPX2? I'm thinking of coil too.

Thanks,
A.

After riding it all summer I can safely say I love the coil. The switch infinity was never designed to feel as ultra plush as say, a Santa Cruz VPP designed linkage. But with this coil it’s damn near close while still retaining the lack of pedal bob that the yeti linkage is known for, so it still pedals like a dream without even having to firm up the shock. Really the only discernible difference I notice is just that the coil does not pop quite like an air shock, but you only notice it if you try to pop a feature and pop at the wrong time. An air shock will still lift you up regardless where as the coil will keep you planted and not want to pop so much. The progressive spring definitely helps with this over a linear spring though. This never came as a problem to me, just something you have to learn which ultimately got me better at timing my jumps. I’ll probably try and air shock again at some point just for shits n giggles but gonna run the coil on everything from now on until they can make an air shock that gives you that planted plush feeling (without having to move all the way up to a heavy float X2, and even then it’s not the same). Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot for your answer, i will give progresive coil a try probably in combination with the new CC Kitsuma shock

Odd, I’ve got a lot of friends who run 2.5 Maxxis and they’re always fine. I’m even running a 2.4 dissector now and it’s fine

Nice Build!

How much clearance you have on the chain/seat stays with the Aggressor..?

Thanks!

Plenty. Maxxis has always measured small so their 2.5 is more like 2.4. I bet I could fit a 2.6 Maxxis if I wanted, not that I want to though.

Thanks! I have no desire to want to slack it out further though, one reason I didn't already. The pros of having it slacker for descending don't outweigh the pros of having it a touch steeper for climbing for me. It's already slack with a long wheelbase as is.

I could do exactly the same build. Love it !
You can even increase Pike travel to 160mm if needed. I did it on mine with new debonnair and 160mm airshaft (part number 00.4020.552.000)
