Submitted by adwin a Cross Country Rider from Fijnnaart Holland
Date Reviewed: November 9, 2009
Favorite Trail:Houffalize belgum
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $400.00
Purchased At:Came with Endorfin f
Strengths:When it works ,it works ok as far as i can tell
Weaknesses:Damping failed 4 times in 6 months
Similar Products Used:Fox RP2 ,Rock-shox SID ,Manitou swinger SPV,DT-Swiss ssd210L.
Bike Setup:Endorfin VP4 SL ,Fox Talas Fork ,Shimano XT transmission,Mavic Crossride wheels,Hayes Stoker Trail brakes ,
Bottom Line:it seems that this Damper is not suitable for the Endorfin Vp4 frame, or i had a Monday morning product from Swiss
After 4 repairs i gave up on it ,and the Dt-Swis dealer gave me a SSD210L to use for a while to test it
This one had no problems ,so i agreed to leave it like this
Apparently newer isn't always better
