Fox DPS factory rear shock

Any one try this shock on their 18 Levo?
About had it with the stock Rock Shox.

Not on a Levo but on my Haibike it works very well; I bought it mainly because it was a good deal but I’m very pleased with it; the coating actually does make it move better.

If you do long downhills pass on the DPS and get a DPX2; mine gets pretty warm even on a short downhill so check and make sure that you don’t need one with an external reservoir.

Thanks for the input. I have an X2 on my Enduro and love it.
You might be right about the reservoir. Not sure if they have a DPx2 with the specialized mount. I will look.

I did install the fox factory DPS shock and it is awesome.
Smoothed out the chatter and it looks very nice.
Also installed Renthal fat lite bars 760 x 30 mm rise.
Much lighter than the stock bars and also look nice.

Really happy with the dps so far for rocky rooty single track.
