any love for Orbea Rallon

The 160 linkage is awesome. More progressive, more travel!

I ordered a Fuji Rakan after riding my wife's. About a month later the shop I work at picked up Orbea. After reading reviews I'm so tempted to just sell my Fuji brand spanky new and order up a Rallon. The only problem is that the Fuji arrives in a month and delivery of the Rallon is about 6 months. I might just order it anyways, I get a smokin discount on the agreement that own it for minimum 1 year.

Whoops, missed this first time around.

FWIW, I was riding the stock X2, then an EXT Storia, and most recently a Diaz Suspension Design tuned DPX2 that is sized to give me about 170mm travel. Increased the fork to 170mm late this fall too.

I liked the X2 the most when I opened up the damping pretty much all the way.

The EXT was rad and felt great on longer/rougher descents, but once I drank the DSD kool aid I wanted to try it with a mellower compression tune. It was due for a rebuild and Cody is gonna give that a go. Psyched to give that a try this spring.

The DSD DPX2 is the best so far. Just really plush and fast. Lots of grip for the chundery, rough old school stuff around here.
