I'm looking to upgrade the rear shock on my Specialized Enduro SL Comp 2009. which is currently running the standard AFR Shock w/ Spike valve, air spring, adj. rebound and low speed compression - 7.875x2.25"

I took part in the Endurance DH event at Fort Bill last year and my rear shock couldn't handle it. This year i'll be doing more of the same riding - everything from XC/AM to some DH tracks & a trip to Morzine - so I am wanting to upgrade the shock so it can cope.

I'm running TALAS 36's forks up front, the bike generally isn't that light yet it is still easy to pedal up hill but isn't the billy goat it used to be.

Mojo recommended the RP23 but I have been eyeing up the DHX Air 5.0
What are your thoughts and experiences with either shock?

Cheers
