    Suspension makes noise, also it's exaggerated by the GoPro. And as discussed earlier the UCA is NOT touching the strut. Just the angle of the GoPro makes it look that way.

    The only downfall I can find from these is the long wait time, but that's not even a valid excuse from the pros vs cons of these and a set of kings..

    I checked them, they're still tight. Maybe the bushings are just old.

    Yea that rubber is crap, but much better than being stiff.

    Do you want to have the adjustability to run whoops as well as rocks? Just adjust the pressures accordingly and you're g2g. Spring rate adjustability on the trail is what sold me on them. Air down tires and shocks at the trailhead then air back up to get on the road.

    I can assure you the wait times will be speeding up as ORI finishes up on a 100 strut order :eek:. and I will have these in stock ready to ship soon as well.

    The only problem is price! SS lines and valves that can handle 3000+psi are not cheap.
