Very interesting and what was your SAG at the end of the day (are you running a different link) ? How was the shock ?
I am looking forward to see the review ( vs KYB ) of Craig also

I doubt it's just regular hard chrome as the various coatings available are clearly superior.
Are the settings from the book a good base setting ? Also have you played with the pre load ?
Even tho I got the settings for the 250F I’ve had to use different springs.
Out of the box my springs and cone setting was way too stiff even with the clicker all the way soft. I could only get about halfway down the stroke.
I'm160lbs, vet 35+ B/C rider, 19 KTM 350.
I had Enzo revalve for me, very good set up now!
The shock worked very well. It feels pretty hooked up and a bit more lively than the stock unit. Overall damping feels just right. For comparison, my stock '19 450SXF shock was better than my stock '17 TC250 shock. The revalved TC250 shock is better than the stock 450 shock, though. And this Trax initially feels more planted than the revalved TC250 shock. Hard to say how much better after less than 2 hrs though - it's definitely good though.
But from what I felt Saturday I was impressed. First of all the track was extremely rough and these new cone valves were unbelievable on the huge breaking bumps, literally soaked them up so well and the bike felt very planted.
I’m still using the cone valve system in the forks and these have been modified for my weight etc. My suspension Guy has brilliant settings so I’m putting my trust in him.
I’m out riding on Tuesday for a full day so will have an even more understanding about these forks then.
I’ll be back
WOW these new forks are unbelievable. I had these forks valved for my weight etc by Karl Anderson here in the UK who is probably one of the best in the UK and a good friend.
These forks are super super plush but just don’t bottom out. I actually did my fastest lap times of the day when the track was at its roughest.
My KYB inserts were absolutely fantastic but these are a lot more comfortable on really heavy breaking bumps. I was so impressed with them yesterday. Lots of front end grip also.
It’s taken me a little while to set up the bike with these forks but I’ve finally got it somewhere near. I’m still using the cone valve system also.
The CV forks have saved my ass a few times when overjumping stuff.
Cheers,
Pit Row
