My first post on Vital. I've enjoyed absorbing all the information.
I just bought the AER Cone Valves from Billy at Powerband Racing. Installed on a 2016.5 SXF450FE. Was fairly happy with the WP AER 48 that came on the bike but finally at the point I could afford A Kit suspension. Have one race weekend and a few rides on them.
They work really well. I notice the biggest improvement on bumpy ruts and also a couple of times when I have blown sand ruts. They stay in the middle of the stroke and track better. Also have flat landed them a few times and they are very plush.
I would highly recommend Billy as I so called Factory Connection and Powerband Racing actually took 5 minutes to go over differences between the spring cone valves and AER cone valves. Factory connection seemed to have about 30 seconds allotted for me to place my order.
Just my .02

The only test review I've seen on them is in the most recent MXA and I have to say it wasnt really glowing. Made me want to pass on spending the 3600 bucks.

What were the pluses/minuses that Billy stated for the AER vs spring CV's?
Will be interesting if they make a spring conversion for the AER CV's that uses only one spring on the air side. I know they have it for the traditional AER forks, but doubt it would work on the CV's.
And I'm planning on selling my 48AER to one my riding buddies. I have 3 of them with 4CS so I think one will buy for sure.
