I now have fourteen rides on this shock and absolutely love it! I have had many, many brands of shocks and tuners and this shock out of the box may be the best I've had. Once sag and rebound are set you can use the four IPA positions that actually do something, although I do ride in the trail control position most of time. Also, would like to thank Matt in CS for assisting me.
Been riding this for about 6 months huge improvement over my stock shock. Has great small bump feel and is excellent at climbing even when fully open. I did have to set it to almost 300 psi to get proper sag and I weigh 180lbs. So it may not be ideal for heavy riders.
Fantastic shock. Feels amazing paired with a Mezzer Pro for trail riding. Great way to make a bigger bike more trail mannered and lightweight on smaller days. My only gripe is rebound clicks can be difficult to hear past about 10 clicks but it's easy enough to dial in by feel. I also picked up the piggyback version for bigger days and can't wait to try it. Big fan of Manitou after discovering the magical Mezzer Pro!
I run manitou suspension on all my bikes I have never had any issues and customer service has been great!!
