The TTX on mine is pretty supple at the beginning of the stroke but still retains its shape well in the mid-stroke.
Can’t ever say ive bottomed it out either – i know its a cliche but it really does feel like you have more than 135mm of travel!
It took a few rides to sort out the LSC & rebound settings but once they are dialled in the shock feels great.
I very rarely mess with the 3-position HSC lever, generally leaving it fully open, even when sprinting there seems to be very little bob or wallowing (think this is more down to the single pivot design of the Stage though).
Take some time to make sure you get the right spring for your weight/riding style – it can make a huge difference to the way the shock feels!
