Anyone running this shock, any good?
Yep, had mine for just over a year on a 5010, just given it its first (DIY) home service.
Works great, quite tuneable but is then set and forget. The pro-pedal works but is not a lock out so it remains active, that's a positive or a negative depending on what you want?
Another one here on a starling swoop. Feels pretty good, very sensitive. Volume of both the positive and negative chambers can be adjusted, and there is another air chamber which can adjust the level of compression damping towards the end of the stroke. I found the "lockout" to not make a massive difference, but tbh I tend to leave shocks fully open anyway. Can't comment on reliability as I've not had it long, but so far so good.
By 'air chamber' do you mean the bladder? That controls how easily the shock goes through the entire stroke, if it's too wallowy add some psi, if it's not active enough take some out.
I use either trail or descend on mt Deluxe, so a lack of proper lockout is no loss. Tune, fit and forget sounds good. I see it has volume reducers if required, I assume it handles drops without too much drama?
Love mine. Fitted to my Hightower. Wish my Pike was as push. Super sensitive. Almost no stiction and low breakaway force.
