Had a Heckler and spent the extra £130 on the RP23 upgrade, not realising what a waste of money it was..after reading many forums, opinion was that the RP23 HV on the Heckler was very hard to live with! You either had nice small bump compliance with risk of bottoming out on big hits or no small bump compliance with no risk to bottoming out. I did try to shim the air can which improved things a bit but in the end got rid of the RP23 and got a Coil Shock which was better suited to the single pivot!
I am about to demo a Butcher here in the UK, it will have an RP23 on it, obviously with the butcher being a linkage driven single I guess the RP23 is going to behave the same? Maybe I should just wait until the weekend to ride the demo Butcher, it is a Medium with a Lyrik but I am only able to afford a 150mm Sektor.
If Im happy with the bike then I will be ordering a Lime Green!
