I just put on the new DVO Onyx SL fork on my Yeti SB165. I was expecting the fork to be stiffer (which it was) but I wasnt expecting it to have so much more midstroke support which was a great surprise. I rode it for the first time the day before after the dig day and even going down a trail like 5 Oaks and Lynx I was able to tell how much more stable and stiff the fork felt. I wanted to shuttle this trail and make some micro adjustments between laps. I've owned so many DVO forks; the Emerald, Diamond, Onyx SC on 4 bikes and the Onyx DC on 2 bikes. The only fork that I havent owned was the Saphire. There are so many things that I love about DVO; the OTT adjustment, best customer service, easy maintenance and most of all the butter smooth initial stroke of the suspension. The new 38 still has everything that I love but with the bonus of being more stiff and having more mid stroke support. I do miss the OTT adjustment on my fork but I was told if I add in another token or 2 I should be able to get the fork to feel butter smooth the way Im used to. I will add tokens and continue to adjust the fork and continue to get the fork dialed but after the first 2 rides I am already stoked on the new Onyx 38.
