After long deliberation and careful testing, CHUMBA decided on their 2010 RP23 spec for their frames. The higher volume air can should give the linear chassis a complimentary feel allowing smooth and supple progression throughout the travel stroke. Further, low compression and medium rebound will give the right mix of bump absorption and pedaling characteristics to try and replicate the feel of a properly tuned coil shock. We chose to keep the rebound at medium to slow it down so as to give a controlled feeling on g-outs and small drops, while leaving the compression tune light so as to let the suspension do most of the work.
As we've been switching between different tunes in the last few years based upon Fox's recommendations as model years change, we think we've found a sweet spot with the new RP23's internals that is a noticeable improvement over past RP23 versions. We hope that many of you can feel confident in the new technology.
