Rear Shock Set-Up
Want to go bigger still? We offer the
optional DHX RC4 and the Cane Creek
Double Barrel Air CS. See ‘tuning the
RC4’ or CCDB, below.
If you want to source your own shock,
the Cane Creek Double Barrel Air,
X-Fusion Vector Air, X-Fushion Vector
Coil HLR, the RockShox Monarch Plus
RC3 and the RockShox Vivid Air R2C
are all great options. Note that the stock
tunes of the Fox (that we provide) and
Cane Creek shocks work well.
The X-Fusion benefits from a custom
tuning, and the RockShox units work
best with a low compression, medium
rebound tune (with low comp/low
rebound being the second best Rock-
Shox tune).
Balance That Thing

A balanced bike will ride best. If you are
planning on using an aggressive fork,
such as a Fox unit with the RC2 damper,
or a RockShox with an RC2 DH damper,
a larger rear shock will create a well-bal-
anced ride. However, if you're planning
on sticking with the stock Fox 34 CTD
160 fork, a much larger rear shock will
result in an unbalanced bike.
Opinions on the aftermarket shocks
differ greatly. That said, a shock where
the progressivity can be adjusted will
usually work best. Air shocks often are
easily adjusted via changing the air
can volume- a smaller volume is more
progressive, and will better resist bottom-
ing. More linear shocks, with a higher
air volume, will bottom more easily.
If using a coil, be sure you have good
late stroke damping control so you can
mimic the progressive nature of an air
shock at the end of the stroke.
Note: the RC4 will not fit on a small
Mojo HDR.
RockShox Monarch Plus
A great option for a shock more aggres-
sive than the CTD is the RockShox
Monarch Plus. The Monarch Plus is
also the only reservoir shock that will
fit on the small Mojo HDR. It'll fit with
the reservoir down and toward the
back of the bike. We've ridden the
Monarch quite a bit on the HDR, and
we prefer the low compression, medium
rebound high volume can shock.
CCDB Air CS
Cane Creek's Double Barrel Air CS is
now available as an option on both
HDR's. The CCDB Air CS provides a
large range of adjustment and can
withstand the harshest riding conditions.
If you'll be going big, this is the big
shock that you need. Independently
adjustable high and low speed compres-
sion, as well as independent high and
low speed rebound, allow the bike to
be dialed in for a variety of riders and
riding conditions. If you ride harder
than the average rider or weigh more
than the average shredder, this might be
the upgrade for you. Fits Mojo HDR 160
and HDR 650b in size medium, large,
and extra-large. You can also run the
CCDB on a small HDR when setup in
650b mode.
X-Fusion Microlite RL
The X-Fusion Microlite RL (optional on
the Ripley) has a reduced body and air
canister size making it one of the light-
