I’ve got a Fox Float RP23 BV Kashima on mine, I think that our shocks are pretty much the same (ish?).I use my Orange Five for downhill and trail riding.
The shock seems to work really well, really really good small bump sensitivity and excellent middle stroke. It just seems to push through the last part of the stroke too easily though, and even after non DH trails I find the O ring right at the end.
This could be solved with a custom tune though, so not much to complain about.
Also, I normally run my shock in the 0 or “fully open” mode, just because I like to push myself when riding, but I tried it in 1 (the “trail” equivalent for my shock) and the bike felt much more lively and I enjoyed extra firmness in the rear end (no jokes please :D) which was perfect for trail riding (I’d keep it in 0 for DH).
I’ve heard coil shocks work well, but I’d never shed out a bomb on a CCDB for a trail bike based on how well my RP23 works.
I haven’t had my five long, so I still need to ride it more to learn a bit more about how it performs. I did find that having previously run 30% sag, the shock works ,much, much better (not to mention being more fun!) with 25% sag, and the propedal seems to work much better too.
Hope this helps 🙂
