Looking to upgrade my ageing RP23 (2011 ish) , would these rockshox options be good? Looking for more control and composure when it gets bumpy. Thanks

Based on the research I did a few months ago, including talking to TFtuned, I'd spend less money getting your fox pushed.

Had one years ago that transformed the bike. The new one appears to be just as good.

Thanks, yes TF said the same to me- good to know it was worth it. I am also considering seconhand options to bring the cost down, but there may not be allot in it. If anyone has experience of those shocks (esp with this bike) that would be great to hear about...

I have an ASR5 with a RP2 shock. I fitted a Vorsprung Corset Air Sleeve and it made a huge difference. I stopped looking at replacement shocks.

It made it more sensitive to small bumps and more 'coil like' for larger hits.
