I put a TTX 1 air on my trance x and its great. I have nothing but positive things to say about it. It's so nice im considering an ohlins fork.
Back to back on the same bike TTX by a mile and the super deluxe is still really good, but it wasn't even close . Custom tuning on the TTX is also really inexpensive.I am debating a shock upgrade eventually for my 21 Stumpjumper Evo. I am attracted like a fly to flypaper to Ohlins as I hear that Ohlins stuff is generally excellent and for the uniqueness and bling factor. The Ohlins will be purchased from Ohlins specifically for the bike. However, the practical me is also entertaining a tractive or AVY tuned Super Deluxe as a possibility. I could find a new or lightly used Super Deluxe and get it tuned and maybe save some money. Opinions please?
I was going to decide between the TTX2Air or the TTX1Air. Not sure which will be better yet.I would suggest an air shock for the EVO, it really doesn't work as well with coils.
Cascade link makes it better, but it really works best with an air shock IMO.
Enduro on the other hand, is a beast with a coil.![]()
Everything except the 19% progression.....Everything points at the bike being fairly progressive and it ships with a coil option so it seems a TTX2 would make sense
Oh, maybe the TTx1 is needed then...Everything except the 19% progression.....
I talked to a few people that have tried, as well as some suspension tuners. The general opinion is that air is better.
But that won't stop people.
The TTX1Air is described as for "trail bikes and eMTBs with more linear suspension systems". The TTX2 is billed as a "robust air-sprung shock is best suited to bikes with more progressive linkage ratios." I found these charts on Pinkbike. Aqua line is the 21 Stumpjumper EVO. The scale of the chart could be better but I suppose that looks more linear than progressive so the TTX1 could be more appropriate? The Ohlins suspension guide states that the coil and both air shocks as compatible and also provides recommended starting values.Oh, maybe the TTx1 is needed then...
Ohlins state the TTX 1 and 2 air shocks will work for the Evo. They just have differing amounts of pressure and volume reducers.The TTX1Air is described as for "trail bikes and eMTBs with more linear suspension systems".

Call them in NC. Very knowledgeable and will spend time talking you through the correct choice.Ohlins state the TTX 1 and 2 air shocks will work for the Evo. They just have differing amounts of pressure and volume reducers.

I buy Ohlins and have it custom tuned. It’s the way to go.Going to be that guy and say custom tuned SD, only because it's tuned for you, your bike and your riding. Assuming you use a known entity for tuning.
