Totem In The House
















Well with the arrival of the new Totem coil and a brand new 2007 DHX 5.0 (Thanks Fox Warranty) the AS-X is feeling like new bike and ready to hit the trails. So far so good the fork is a huge huge improvement. The steering is even better bc they managed to fit in 10mm more travel and still have about a half inch shorter axel to crown length compared to the sherman. With the high and low adjust it can go from drop ready to full on downhill plush and has flood gate lock out. Got the tires, fork, and rear shock just need the those wheels to show up and will be ready to rock for Moab. I loved this bike before and now it just blows me away. At 37lbs (down from 41) she pedals dam good too gonna be 35.5 with the new wheels. Well hopefully the new stuff will pan out well, never tried rock shox before but so far super impressed but for 999 I should be. All I need now is some snow melt and some good temps.

Did the totem replace the Boxxer ride? It looks comparable but single crown.

Ya kinda bc of the big free ride sceen they keep wanting to bigger with single crowns bc of turning radius and being able to bar spin. Also it should be just as stiff or stiffer as the ride bc it is 1.5 steer tube and 40mm stantions. Then it has alot more adjustments bc it has high and low speed compression and flood gate.

in complete agreement about the manitou and about the shock it cracked and was leaking right above the pro pedal adjuster. Maybe nick casing it off that drop big time lol
