Looks much better in gold than the yellow in the other bike shots.
I have to agree though the range of 3 is too small for someone wanting to get 100% out of a shock. It is clearly going to be tuned to the bike so you don't need 20clicks but you also miss out on the fine tuning.
Probably brilliant for 80% of riders, a custom type tuned shock is going to be better or equal to a well tuned rc4 but tuning much simpler so its a great idea for many riders. I like fine tuning, in this situation I'd go with a tekin tuned rc4 or go with a BOS the stoy will come with the same tune detail but it has I think 5-6clicks? So more depth for fine tuning.
That said the shock has some impressive things the others don't offer and its hard to dismiss their heritage. I'd love to see them increase the HSC to 6 clicks I think that's simple enough for most and allows fine tuning.
I like bottom out resistance it does help but its only really helpfull on some frames, bikes that follow a progressive curve doesn't really need it at all. Again with rebound I have no interest in a high and low speed, one rebound that is speed sensitive is plenty. No need for dual adjustments, they complicate tuning for a very minor if any benefit.
Glad to see the shock in gold not yellow. The spring still not a fan but aesthetics can take a back seat for performance.
