X-Fusion Shox Vector RPV Rear Shock

5/5 (2 Reviews)


Product Description

The Vector RPV with PowerValve technology is a new shock in the Vector Big Hit series. This shock with the PowerValve offers great big hit bump performance combined with pedaling efficiency for that much needed out of the corner burst of speed. The Vector R also has externally adjustable rebound damping, a feature desirable for the end user who understands the basics of suspension tuning and appreciates the ability to fine tune their ride.

Strengths:    Does what it says it'll do
Not too heavy
Damn cheap
Adjustable rebound and compression


Weaknesses:    The damper squeaks a bit, otherwise nothing

Bottom Line:   
I bought a secondhand bike (the B-17) and did it up. The Shockworks shock on it was toast, so I needed a replacement. Was about to buy a Fox unit when I found this thing online on eBay, and it was too cheap to pass up so took a punt.

It fitted fine, I fiddled with it initially to get it working right for my weight and riding style and haven't touched it since. It works just as well as a high-dollar piece, and it even looks a lot like an older Fox Vanilla RC... I wonder why..!

Excellent shock for the money.
