2019 On-road ride?

[zombiekiller]

I can't believe how people can't wrap their heads around how these shocks work. Imagine an aftermarket set of Fox or Icons (the ones with the adjustment knobs). These are better than stock because unlike stock shocks which have to be balanced for 50/50 onroad/offroad, the aftermarket ones you can tweak to be more geared to whoops, jumps, or street driving.

These still aren't perfect tho. You only get one selection, and even offroad you must strike a balance. Or, if you forget to set them (as has been done at many a Raptor Run) you can bottom out severely on your first jump!

The Fox Live is a brilliant solution to all this. Take the above example, but now imagine a computer turning that knob for you 200x a second for optimal response. That's what these shocks do. They've been getting rave reviews from mountain bike and RZR owners, and I expect the improvement in shock response will be nearly as big as going from G1 -> G2 shocks.

Soon I'll get to ride with in a 19 around Texplex and compare it directly against my 17. I'll also go with another friend who has Fox Factories on his 18, and a Gen 1 friend with Icons*. I suspect the Fox Live will be close - if not superior to - the Fox Factories.

*Actually ridden with him before - they aren't much better than how my stock truck rides. But he's also got quite a bit more weight.

I'm expecting to have my truck there too, So if you want a ride in an SVC midtravel equipped gen2 truck running a bypass rack with 4.0s in the rear on deavers, I'm happy to take some passengers for a whirl. I'm running kings front and rear.

I’ll take a ride, and you are more than welcome to run in a stock 19. Hopefully I will have the bumps installed by then.

Cool!

I'm interested to take a look at what the finished product fox live valves look like. The last ones I had eyes on were pre-production. I'm still trying to determine if they have a shock shaft position sensor on them, or if they are using other sensors. I'm rabid for understanding what telemetry points they are using and how the adjustment logic functions.

I've hit the ignore button. This guy is just a retard. Suggest doing the same.

I will expose the liars see below for the truth. I am happy that my prediction was correct! I am now a living legend in this forum.

Accomplishments-
1. Proved that raptors will sell below $5k before 2019.
2. Proved the live shock will not be worth it for non off-road drivers.

See below for the hard truth!
The live shock verdict:-

Even with live shock, the car rides stiffer. No cushy feeling when driving.

The good: Great for jumps off-road
The bad: not great for comfort ride non off-road.

This is from the same video that some animal in human skin posted here claiming that the shocks were better for both off-road and non off Road.

Start from 6:45 minutes to see the real truth.

Prior to watching that video I was wanting the recaro seats. After, I’m so glad I got a new loaded 18 for 63k.
