easy to install . . I do not typically have an issue with rocks & derailleur impacts. I like the innovative approach MRP takes as well as very slight weight penalty for extra protection.
Better than new Fox Grip X2 dampers. Rebound is stand out better. No need for HSC knob.
Damper upgrade is worth 10 times more than air spring upgrade
I just installed the lift damper on my 2020 Fox 36 Performance. I was never impressed with the GRIP damper on the fox, decided to give MRP a whirl having used their products since the early 2000's (bones crankset was awesome). I also have an older Raze coil shock on my "buddy bike," and have been impressed how good it still feels after 11 years of not servicing it, ever (whoops)! This lift damper seems to be really good, maybe a little too supportive if I match the same PSI I was using on the Grip damper, dropped 10-15psi and it seems to be very nice. It's paired with an MRP Ramp Control Pro and Push Industries fork seals/maxima oil. Decided to erase any evidence of Fox making this a true franken-fork. My only concern so far is that the rebound feels non-existent and I have it set 1-2 clicks from closed to slow it down - otherwise it feels a like a pogo stick. The instructions also didn't make it clear whether I should use the crush washer on the damper side with my push fork seal kit. I didn't install it, but it felt wrong after decades of DIY suspension services. I am excited to take it to my favorite local trail and do hawt lapz with the toddler.
If you've ever had an xtr derailleur cage delaminate you know exactly what this is going to help. Easy install.
The Squatch color seems to accent my Yeti SB 160 radium frame, pretty good. My riding weight is 215 lbs. I settled on the 500# Enduro SL spring.
