So, I’ve had my Canyon Strive 18 months now and just can not get on with the Fox CTD shock. I’ve had it tuned by J-Tech but he can only do so much! It’s bearable, but I don’t have a lot of confidence in it. The CTD positions don’t really seem to have much difference between them and it blows through the travel way too easily!

With that said, I’m looking to upgrade it, so what would you folk recommend? Looking at the CCDB Air CS, but are there better/cheaper alternatives out there?

CCDB Inline? Cheaper than Air CS and probably just as good for the price difference.

Monarch plus seem to be priced very reasonably.

Make sure you get the right tune of course.

How heavy of you the best answer is probably this. http://www.avalanchedownhillracing.com/Fox%20DHX/Fox%20Float%20RP23%20SSD%20Mods.htm

Maybe try some air spacers first?
My rp23 was push tuned and still not to my liking. Fitted a medium spacer let a lot of air out and sorted.
