The horseshoe crab of the MTB world. It's been around for over 15 years with little to no design changes. God's perfect shock.

Ive swapped from the DHX2 to the CR. It sat around for TWO YEARS in my parts bin. Installed it and it felt brilliant. Rebound slowed down by 2 clicks, compression up by 3 clicks. So simple yet effective, also the DHX2s are prone to leaking, never had that issue with any CR. Just very reliable.

I've read a few horror stories on coil shocks snapping shafts on the specialized e-bikes. The bomber air shock still continues to impress me on my Kenevo.

@@OtterMTBtech I don't have any in there at all. I've yet to bottom the bike out. I have a bit of a weird sounding setup. Stock shock is 62.5mm stroke, I run a 65mm stroke shock (gives almost 190mm travel out back) but I run my sag as if it was 62.5mm. so I'm at 30% of 62.5mm, sounds weird but it makes the bike feel bottomless.

possible problems If the shaft of the shock breaks are: 1)the bushings are gone 2) frame is not stiff enough and can push the shock in a non rectilinear movement

I've had my CR for a couple of years now and have no complaints about its durability. I bent the bolts mounting the shock to the frame doing big jumps (I'm 85kg), but the shaft has held up to the challenge

Nice pants 👖. I love my otter pants. I live in Florida where it’s as hot as the sun 🌞. They breathe better than any other brand. Thank you for a great product.

Glad to hear, they are made in same factory as most of the big brands. Custom designed the pattern or outline. Failed miserably to sell them. Cost is $40 per pair, material cost a fortunate why they stretch and breath good.

Got a CR on my 161mm and it rides/feels great. Damping works great. Got the fox orange spring and it weights less than the FLOAT X2 it replaced

Hello, I have a Bomber CR with a 450 spring on a rocky mountain altitude with a 95kg rider weight, and i think that I need a bigger spring rate 500/550. what s your body weight and spring rate?

New video so soon?! Awesome!

A status and a emtb is about all a man could need

i had one on my trail bike and i blew it up 3 times in 6 months

Torn between the Bomber CR, Voro or a used Kitsuma for $100 more on a Spire? 230lb rider. Currently on a Tigon with my Ripmo and it’s amazing. Just don’t want to spend as much with the Spire since it’s limited to mostly bike park usage.

Hi @OtterMTBtech here in Germany the Bomber CR retails for 420€. I could also get a 2023 FOX DHX2 Performance Elite for 300€ or 2023/22 FOX DHX2 Factory for 350€ I am absolutely new to coils and would upgrade from a RockShox Super Deluxe Select+. Which one would you recommend? Cheers!

I’d go Suntour it looks like a bit long travel ebike. Make sure the piggyback will clear on full compression. Bomber is good option and easy to get serviced anywhere

Basically the same as the Fox DHX no? Heard both have high speed compression set too firm from the factory, especially for lighter riders, which hinders small bump suppleness

The dhx coil is the same damper as the float x shock. The dhx2 is the same damper as the float x2. Regardless, get the bomber cr/van r tuned, and it will perform just as good as a dhx2 for a lot less money. ALSO, whatever you do, do not ever run it on a yoke bike. You'll absolutely nuke the poor thing.

Not ignorant at all. It’s a u shaped piece of metal that drives the shock. Certain bikes have them and it creates a massive load on the shock.
