2014 RC4 has the 1/2inch shaftIs there a way of visibly identifying a 2014 model?
Guess this is what I was kinda getting at as I found my 2010 RC4 performed beautifully on my old Glory. Also, can't say I ever really heard of many people complaining that the RC4 lacked enough tuning or that it was unstable. Seems to me that some of the supposed 'issues' with the old shock seem somewhat imaginary...2014 RC4 has the 1/2inch shaft
The new shock is a way more tuneable and stable shock than the previous units.
FOX spent 4 years polishing the old turd no one seems interested in a potentially good upgrade.
i'm puzzled
From what I understand they've done away with the boost valve and added air assist to allow better damping deep into the travel. Unnoticeable unless you're a wc racer I reckon.. like most incremental product improvements.Guess this is what I was kinda getting at as I found my 2010 RC4 performed beautifully on my old Glory.

Have you actually ridden one???From what I understand they've done away with the boost valve and added air assist to allow better damping deep into the travel. Unnoticeable unless you're a wc racer I reckon.. like most incremental product improvements.
How did you put a smaller shaft in your older rc4?Have you actually ridden one???
I've been running a small shaft RC4 for well over a year now (before I knew Fox were going to come out with one) and the difference is far from unnoticeable. The 2010 RC4 shocks have HUGE AMOUNTS of ramp in them. By having the smaller shaft and eliminating the boost valve the ramp is greatly reduced.
As for adjustment on the RC4 its not about how many times the knob clicks its about what the clicks actually do.
For example the tuneability of an RC4 is no way near as good as the CCDB, one of the many areas that the CCDB has nailed.
Theoretically the new shock should be much better than its predecessors.So theoretically the new RC4 should be way better than the old ones on my 2013 Demo?
