I got this from tftuned. I’ve been very impressed with it so far.

rode up at FoD on Sunday, which is very Rooty. The rear end felt great. It’s still not 100% dialled in, the LSC was quite open, but so much better than the air shock.

I've run both linear and progressive on my Rail and it was better on the progressive.
 
Hello,

I had try Fox X2, Fox DHX2 2019 and Fox DHX2 2021. Now I run with Fox DHX2 2021 with canecreek 500-610lb (83kg ~28%sag) and last week I tried linear 525lb!

With progressive spring I feel litle hard at the midle of travel, after I try linear spring and the problem solved! Yesterday I tried again the progressive spring but I change the Low Speed Comprassion (+5 clicks to open) and I feel the same with linear spring at the midle of travel but with little more support at the end.

Now I am confused! But I think with right compresions settings you can have similar resaults.

What spring did you need with 210 pounds rider?
I might need the same😉
Hello, I went for the 18077-16/106(605)67. ! That's what is on the spring. I went down 2 sizes from what the shop 1st put on, I'm glad I did, I usually run it in the middle compression setting. Also upped to a 60mm stroke.

18077-16 is 605lb
 
I have the 23 ultimate DH and had a 450-550 progressive msr. It was too spongy off the top. Put a 550lb linear on it and feels way better. I think that in combination with they hydro bottom out will work perfect.

I know this is 18 months later, and a lot of folks don't even own their bikes that long, but since I'm in the middle of the same project I thought I'd ask what is your weight and what was your conclusion?
