Here’s an excerpt from a text sent to us by Gabe Chroust, owner of torturtestmagazine.com and the Torture Test Magazine YouTube channel, after testing our shock in preparation for a 24 hour race at Glen Helen:
“ But yeah, I am so happy with the shock. I have used most of the options for rear shocks out there on this bike. I have had a stocker professionally rebuilt, rebuilt my own stocker, tried the Hagon shock, and had a Fox Podium RC2 built for me. This shock is miles ahead of everything but the Fox, but that Fox cost an arm and a leg so I wouldn't do it again.”
Now, here’s Gabe’s post-race evaluation: https://torturetestmagazine.com/pages/seeing-what-the-vonkat-crf230f-shock-is-made-of
