Once again great info and a really nice resource.

I've never felt suspension this amazing. I love the topaz t3 and diamond fork. Watt wagons Hydra!

I installed a 2022 Topaz today on my 2021 Giant Trance (P.O.S) and the difference over the factory Fox shock was night and day different and I haven't even started to work on dialing it in. I absolutely recommend to everyone. Better yet, these guys are super easy to deal with. Just do it!

The 2022 Topaz was so good, I also bought the DVO Onyx Smashpot. Absolutely amazing gear and so good. You need to get DVO!! (Not sponsored... Just worth it!)

Are you going to do a video on how to service this shock?

Cool review for breaking things down, Please do one for the Onyx SC 2022 too.

@@mirospikos 4 way jade shock was just a test unit. Onyx has lots of little things that make it better and will get round to that when I have time

Seriously, we need an explanation on the lack of green ano :P

You can adjust the travel of the stroke? Thats cool, so if I got a 210x55 mm I can run it at 210x52.5?

Amazing vid. You know your shocks! Ive just had 2 fox x2 shocks blow up on me within 2 rides. Apparently they are known for this. Ive been told DVO will be more durable, but how about performance wise, will it equal a fox x2 kashima? Cheers :)

I am trying to change the stroke length from 50 to 55 on my 210x50 Topaz 2022. Where is the travel spacer I need to remove as the shaft is stamped 55/50 MM

Hi, do you know the outer diameter of the air can? I want to mount it in a frame with poor clearance...

So my Topaz has started making a whistling noise under compression and rebound, any ideas why? Its about three years old

Can this fit ibis ripley v4 large frame ?

Also,im co fused asto what the official name is for this new shock, that you call "X". Is it the official topaz 3? I cant find anything online above that. Cheers.

Do these come with the same tune out of the box as the previous gen?

Got myself a Topaz T3 for my Giant Reign 2 (2017) .. not sure if that frame puts load to the shock so that I can look after it. Any idea if it does ?

That’s not trunnion so will be easier on the shock

Is this new 2022 update just for the Trunion Topaz shocks? Topaz has been high on my list but I don't need the Trunion style for my bike. Has or will the standard mount Topaz shock be receiving the same updates?

@Jesse DVO I have 2021 Trek Fuel ex with Fox dps rear shock and im planing to upgrade my rearshock, do you recommend Topaz 2 air shock for that bike or new Fox float X. Topaz 2 is cheaper and how much I see it has more adjustments. But im honestly looking for more durable shock, something that doesnt require very often service... Thanks in advance

@jessedvo4919

Anything will be an improvement over the DPS but yeah obviously I’m going to recommend the new topaz

Any chance the new aircan is compatible with older shocks ? In the 210x52.5 version bottom out still leaves a lot of shaft visible so the additional length wouldn't be a problem, question is, is the "airshaft" diameter the same than before ? And s the equalization dimple in the same spot compared to the air-can threads ?

You're mentioning suspension designs that exert a side load on the shock, could you be specific? Would that be for example Meta or Stumpjumper linkage design?

I’m trying find a shock that has more support at the top do the stroke for better pedaling. I was referred to the topaz. Can you do this with any shock? Something with adding spacers to the negative air?

You can add spacers to the negative chamber on a topaz to firm up the 1st part of the travel yes

To stop bottoming out you need to add volume spacers on the positive side. Air press to set sag
