Nothing sticks to the ground quite like a coil shock. The DHX2 takes that sensation and buttresses it with sophisticated progressive damping, a massive overall tuning range, and super low-friction internals in order to capitalize on the full race-spec magic carpet experience.
“Factory” says it all – feature-packed and designed to exceed the demands of our Factory-level riders. What we sell is what they race.
