Trax shock opinion

Bobby_Hankins
I’m interested in a Trax Shock for single track racing. Over 50 B rider, is it much better than my stock revalved ktm 250 xc Shock?

A good tuner will get it better for much cheaper. I have been there and won't go trax again

What's not to understand? A good tuner will get a stock revalved shock working better than an out of the box trax and save you a packet in the process.

My xplor shock has DLC, kashima, skf seal head, ohlins oil, xtrig adjuster, dyno tuned and works heaps better than my trax did and $1500 or more cheaper.

Yeah, I have a very good setup by a suspension tuner. I had just heard some say how good the trax was... another really good tuner said exactly what you said. Thanks man!

Funny thing that. I bought Bowsers Trak shock awhile back and love the way the Trak system works. I won’t go back to a coventional shock now i am hooked. I suppose whatever rocks your boat.

I've used a Traxx in practice but never in competition... Considering I'm pretty anal about suspension, I can't justify the cost = performance value.

But maybe with a larger budget and more testing I could find the right setting..
