Hi ive got a rockrider 9.1 with a x fusion rear shock this is a standard item with no adjustments other than air pressure.. so my question is, is the suntour epicon rear shock an worthy upgrade or not. as its cheap and has adjustable rebound and a lockout

    I would have to agree, unless you were going for a lock out version as anon lock out epicon is just too soft at the start and ramps up quickly at the end and I never got full travel out of the one I used (still have in the spare bin).

    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:
