ECLIK 2017-2021 Raptor Fox Live valve controller

[TexasAggie94]

Here’s the video I was talking about (I think)

Although I am still partial to Fox this is definitely a game changer for some folks. Electronic control is the future as evidenced here. Probably still not as reliable for those real racers out there doing Baja etc. but it will eventually. Never thought I would see electronic valve control on a mountain bike shock either but it is now a reality. Thanks for sharing that video.

I’ve been looking into the E-Clik system for quite some time. Also spent some time watching through the KeepItDirty videos. One thing I want to point out, for the sake of preventing misinformation, especially for Gen 3 guys is that the KeepItDirty dude constantly talks about calculations per second. In particular, he mentions that even Gen3 is still only 300/sec where as your module is 500/sec. According to the official FOX video, the Gen3 is also coming in at 500/sec. Check out this clip, around 2:15:

With that said, I still believe the system does look very impressive, especially as a retro fit for all the guys between 10-18. I think that is ultimately going to be the market for this product going forward. Seems to me that the Gen3 has pretty much caught up to your tech, so the market for those trucks is pretty much dead, with maybe the exception in fine tuning on algorithms. (Not a bash, just observation.)

For me personally, I’m struggling with the “rebound” issue you’ve mentioned for the FRS shocks. If I’m going to drop the cash on a live valve retro-fit, I want to also do a shock upgrade to the FRS as well.

With that in mind, is the rebound issue really in the FRS shocks specifically? If so, wouldn’t the Gen 3 guys be experiencing the same issues if they’ve upgraded to FRS? I’ve looked around but have not seen anyone complaining. This also seems like something the Ford and Fox engineers would’ve found when tuning/developing the live valve system on Gen3/FRS combos. Am I missing some critical piece of info here or are my observations astute?

In the event there still is no answer to this problem and I proceed with FRS shocks, can you explain the practical implications of the early release on the rebound? More bounce/bucking, not enough absorption on impact, etc?

Also, what types of scenarios/driving is expected to be impacted by the early release behavior? Full droop only, whoops, etc?

Thanks, looking forward to your response.

Are you asking SDI? SDI and Wayne parted ways well over a year ago. IDK if you knew that? It would probably be best to contact SDI themselves.

I can tell you the SDI EClik system works well. As long as you get your shocks revalved, and IMO, it's a must. Unfortunately you have to send them in, that's the only time consuming part of the process.

 

[WireNutz]

Yup, Wayne is no longer at SDI. But if you call SDI and talk to Rick he is very helpful and knowledgeable. He will answer your questions about the OEM LV shocks vs FRS LV.

 

[Primez]

Oh, thanks guys. Good to know. Wasn’t aware of the changes. I’ll reach out and share my findings.

If anyone is looking for a set of 2020 live valve shocks I have some in my storage unit (front and rear) from my truck.. 12k miles on em.. Los Angeles.

@mattl600 do you still have them, looking to do this swap

I’m in the middle of putting FRS LV on my 2017 and have already installed the SDI Eclick system. I’m running into an issue with the provided LV solenoid caps in that they don’t seem to go on very well. They look deeper than the OEM caps and I imagine that’s to take up space between cap and solenoid valve, but I can’t get them all the way on, is there supposed to be a spacer or something? TIA

Got a pic of them? Heres how the oem lv ones look when i replaced them

I have to use a crescent wrench each time i mess with the sdi solenoids to get them on/off, i think their threads are on the tighter side compared to the fox caps. You wont need a spacer once they thread all the way on, feel free to use some dielectic grease or antiseize on the threads.

SDI has it figured out.
