So, Tommy, here’s a harder question. You and Lewis are pro-riders and that Shock upgrade has worked for you. I ride Innerleithen and make a good gist of it, but not at your pace - nowhere near. So, is it going to bring the same benefits to the ‘average’ punter? Or are we going to find it harder to exploit (feel the difference) and therefore find it less ‘cost-effective’. And, look, I realise objectively you can only judge for yourself. But, you can offer a view, really you can 😊

Yess mateee! Epic yet again . Have a lovely Christmas and New Year boss man !

I just always wonder why Rockshox don’t design their piston to be similar to the WPS one or does it only really work after the full custom tune?

sick vid bro!! whats the bike like when shifting while u pedal under load tho??

@tommychype

You shift by laying of the power slightly on this system, it hasn’t caused me any issues to be honest, the bike is pretty dialled

You are testing a tuned shock and a shock of the shelf the rockshox is a great shock set up right. Plus was that a progressive spring it looked a lot shorter.

@joeledwards4754

Same setting put into the standard shock as the WPS. The WPS shock had a WPS spring and the standard shock had a rockshox spring. A progressive spring would have made the shock feel worse with the kinematics of that bike

What he said 😂👍

You should compare the wps with the ext

Hopping that bike without chain slaps looks so satisfying it made my xt rig feel clunky in comparison

But how does it compare to the EXT Storia Lok V3 ? I love it, but mine is tuned to the Geometron G1 frame and has spherical bearings as it came with the frame kit. I've not heard of WPS before this video. Good there are options to fix bad tunes from big brands.

I got the same wps tuned rs from jteck.i have no clue how to set suspension up i have benn messing round with shocks for years .this time i told jteck my weight and went for an all mountain tune.and keeping it to their recommended set up /no off clicks.feels good but still no clue !guess they are the specialists

Curious what external settings you were set at on each shock ?

loved the vid ( and the Zerode) but i have the same questions as the others .. did the stock shock have the same spring as the tuned shock, and was the stock shock set up correctly for your weight and the terrain?

@tommychype

So the stock shock had all the same settings as the wps shock, the wps runs its own spring and spacer, much nicer setup for that shock

@@tommychype hell yes!!great result then!

Tested climbing on shock? lockout?

Were you shocked at the Rockshox shock or the shock that rocked not the shock that Rockshox rocked

Is the stock shock even set up correctly? And do they have the same linear spring?

@tommychype

The standard shock has all the same settings for my weight as the wps so the standard has been tuned but has a stock spring, the wps runs its own spring and spacer overall a much nicer setup for that shock 👌👌

it depends cinematic too... when you ride a single pivot, you have to put a very good shock ! But when you have a good cinematic like VPP even with a stock shock the bike is very good

It's visibility less bouncy on camera

Stoked you're loving the bike bro, just a heads up - the proper way to pronounce Katipō is more like "Katuh-po" and ive just realised this is basically impossible to explain with text. Anyway its the name of the only spider over here that could cause you any real harm if bitten. 🤘

Didnt expect to see this marketing rubbish from TChype. Obviously the tuned shock is going to feel better , imagine the original shock actually felt better. Id hedge a bet this video wouldnt have made it out

Id say unless your ragging on the bars which unless your trying to backflip then you won’t accidentally shift mate even if you did its an instant change anyway so it doesn’t act like it does on a derailleur system
