I never felt it bottom out, yet the O-ring was oft found at the end of the shaft.
This is a key point and one of the things that has so impressed me with the Float X fitted here (no to be confused with the older DPX2).
This new Float X launched in 2022 gained the big, soft, elastomer bottom out bumper of the DH/Enduro Float X2. When compared with the little float DPS that often graced these mid range/more trail spec bikes, this is a big improvement. Its worked wonders on my 120mm travel trail bike.

The E7000 seems to be a bit more reliable than the EP8 too! I've got one in my Vitus and it doesn't feel underpowered, I hardly ever use boost anyway.

I believe the e7000 is even less rebuildable than the ep8.

Almost as ugly as that mating from a few tears ago - mount vision iirc.
