Has anybody had any dealings with the new DVO Topaz shock? I've seen the 7 page long thread on mtbr with people ranting about it but just wondering about any UK dealings so far.
Looking at getting it to replace a DB inline shock on my mk1 Bronson.
I wouldn't go past a Fox X2 to try it out.
The Fox X2 is pretty much the go to rear shock at the moment. I wouldn't bother with the Topaz.
I'm looking seriously at it as an X2 doesn't fit on a Scout. Seems well reviewed but don't know anyone who's got one. Doesn't really put me off as long as warranty ok.
They're a fair chunk cheaper than an X2, a Float X or a CCDB Air, which are all a bit bonkers cost wise.
I'll be putting one on my Solo straight away when funds allow.
Cheaper than X2, hugely tuneable and completely user serviceable.
The X2 is also £200 more expensive and is about 130g heavier from intial googling!
and it seems to now only come in 200x50 whereas the Bronson is 200 x 57 shock. The only thing putting me off is wondering who will support it warranty wise as I see no mention of them on TFTuned website.
Looks like Silverfish are the distributor so would probably go through them if a warranty issue arises?
I've had mixed experiences with the distributor, Not one I'd rush into using again tbh.
However, I know someone who by-passed them with an issue, and DVO were very good.
Yep. DVO have a good rep.
UByk are banging them out for the best price I could find. No idea about what they're like.
Might be worth speaking with TF about them and seeing if they've got plans to start servicing them - they do service DVO Jades and a fair few of the bits between the two shocks are the same.
