X Fusion Sweep RL2

Has anyone got or ridden one of these? Would you recommend it?

I've not. Great weight for the price - but with the Pike RC available for less than £400 too...

Thanks. I have the possibility of a virtually new one for half that price to replace my Revelation RLT.
Two of the three reviews I have read mention flex and the lack of compression adjustment and a lockout which locks solid. Can't find whether the travel can be reduced to 150mm.
My bike is 26" and takes up to a 160mm fork. A 150mm 650b fork has roughly the same A-C as a 160mm 26" fork but it could give me more options in the future if I decide to change the frame.

The RL2 damper does look limited, fixed LSC. As it uses a spacer system for travel adjust I am sure that the spacers could be modified. £200? I'd give it a go. You'd probably get it back!

I could get close to that for my Revelation so it won't really cost me anything I guess which makes it easier to justify to the boss

Great forks for the money
Flex is as to be expected for the weight. Changing the m to 150 is pretty easy just need the spacer, a pin wrench (park red is ideal), normal socket set and a 1.5mm allen key

Thanks. How does the flex compare to Revelations?

Definitely stiffer than the revs.
