    I’ve been running the onyx sc and jade x for a couple years now. I’ve only got incredible things to say about them but they are both custom tuned from Jesse at DVO New Zealand for the taniwha’s kinematics, my weight, and riding style, and then the tune is matched on the fork too, so it rides incredible. I also just got them both serviced here in Vancouver so I’m loving life right now😂 The coil off the top into an air spring gives frankly unmatched (to any air fork) small bump sensitivity and the rest is smooth as butter and ramps up wonderfully.

    Be careful if you install them yourself, they have a manufacturing defect that means that the pistons have to be lubricated very well since the gasket is very tight and they do not move back as quickly as they should, apparently the defect disappears after massaging several times the brake pistons.

    Yeah I put the sintered in straight away. They’ve been good, you can definitely notice the difference in power when they’re cold and once they’ve got a little heat into them but it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Apart from that they’re like any other brake. Sometimes noisy in the wet and work perfect in the dry

    I ran them from new a number of years ago. I loved them. They were more consistent then the hopes and had not loads of power - probably why many World Cup and EWS/EDR riders still run then after so many years. Mine just felt pretty average after 3 or so years of using them so that’s when I moved to the hopes for something different

    Yeah they really are. I wouldn’t put these anywhere near the same level as the code R or those lower level brakes, they are definitely the best they make and are built with quality. But I’m not sure about all the extra arm pump he was getting. Maybe he struggles with arm pump more, I don’t really get it at all so I haven’t yet noticed any extra soreness or fatigue using these. They’re just a powerful and slightly more quality RSC.
