Hello!

Does anybody have any experiences with this shock?
I'm looking at it as an option to replace the stock one on my 2016 CRF450

It's cheaper than an Ohlins, and of course an A kit (I couldn't find any) or Trax

Every input is welcome

We have ran them on KX450's. We have an akit shock also.It is a good shock and the bottom out feature is awesome when used correctly. Very comparable to an akit shock imo.

Yup^^^ My buddy uses one on his KX450, and newly bought KTM350. Raves about it, won't use anything else at this point. He will likely chime in, and give you a more detailed report.

I'm a vet int mx'er only and love my Fox RC3 shocks. I bought my first one after have my kxf 450 sbock revalved twice and was still not to my liking. I bought the fox so I could have an extra shock while i was going back and forth with my tuner for the revalve on the stocker.

I didnt expect much but I liked it so much I never sent my stocker out again! The fox has a wide adjustment range and the bottom out control flat out works. All I did was twist some clickers and found a great setting.

I still have this bike and bought a '15 350 to go alo g with it. I bought the fox before I even rode with the stocker and have SSS forks on the front so this suspension works great. For comparison had an ohlins shock on my 13 450sxf and it was nice too, but I think the fox is better (because of the bottom out control).
