I wouldn't buy them again unless they were revalved for my riding style and weight.

deeker · 03-25-2009, 08:45 AM

no they are not worth the money. just my 2 cents

03-25-2009, 08:51 AM

depends i guess. work well on the trail for my nytro, but valving is crappy for the powder!

All i have to say is Fox has a great marketing department for there air shocks that is.... just saying.

powerteker · 03-25-2009, 08:38 PM

Zbroz Racing...."Exit Shocks"....

The problem with Air shocks is they are inconsistant. They are a pain in the butt to tune. To stiff and then to soft. You have two seals that you have to brake the "stick" factor (inner and outer seals)and then the shock will travel. Flucuations in Temperature and air density (altitude) make the shocks performance below par. You buy the shocks for, lets say a random number, $1200.00. then you need to do revalving, another couple hundred, possibly adding external Rezzies for a couple hundred. IMO just spend the money and buy Gas filled shocks. They cost about the same in the long run and you will spend more time riding and less time tuning.

Yes you are correct... oil filled. What are they doing, or not doing?

powerteker · 03-26-2009, 12:21 PM

i like how they will re-spring and re-valve at no charge

are you talking about Fox Floats or stock Doo shocks? There is a huge performance differance in the stock shocks and exit or ohlins shocks. If you are getting Floats re-worked for free... Lucky you, right on.

powerteker · 03-26-2009, 02:02 PM

talkin about the exit shox they say if ur not satsified call them in less than 30 days and they will re-spring and re-valve till u are. the fox floats I know u have to do it urself

powerteker · 03-26-2009, 02:08 PM

u cant do anything with the stock shox except titanium spring or throw them in the garabage. I think the springs would be a waste of money

bigdawg · 03-26-2009, 03:42 PM

I would be the guy you need to talk to about the ZBROZ exit shocks and they Rock nothing out there that compares to them .....When you order them we biuld them they are for your weight and your riding style....I have sold lots.... and everyone loves them not one complaint.....if you are interested let me know and i can give you some details
