Sick seeing all the freeride dudes clicking up for a sessions leading up to Rampage! So much work gets put in leading up to the event that people dont see.
For the same reason you don’t run a coil fork. Tune ability, progressive, better for jumping and airtime. You will see very few free riders run coil except in DH racing.
I to ride two bikes, Commencal clash Medium, one is dark grey and and the other is green/red color shift. The grey has the Marzo Super Z in Red , bomber air, Reverse single speed set up. The green has the black Marzo bomber 58, bomber air and the SB one single speed set up. Both bikes have the i9 wheelset. Love both bikes, saint brakes on both. Love both, they are very similar, yet unique in each way. I can relate to your set up.
