Someone posted the Fox Live Valve for mountain bikes review yesterday and first thought was WTH, what does it have to do with Raptors??!?! BUT we do get some good info from the article. The system works incredibly well and reacts very quickly. Most importantly a single live valve shock with electronics costs $2k for OEM bike manufacturers and $3k for end users wanting to retrofit. Point being maybe the price increase is justified considering we're getting 4 bigass shocks with electronics in the 2019. I drove a 2018 and it drove nice but I'd imagine Live Valve would make it plush all of the time and stiffen up only when needed. My GT350 has magneride and honestly the car is super plush on the road compared to a GT without magneride but it still has zero lean in the twisties and handles like a muddafukka. A static setup has to walk the line between comfort and performance, Live Valve should give you the best of both worlds.
