Reviews
I purchased this damper to replace the stock race day damper on my hardtail. I never felt like the small bump compliance of the SID SL shock was as good as the Fox SC shock that is on my full suspension bike and that combined with all the positives I've read about Flight Attendant got me to bite.
A big improvement for the small bump compliance and in function overall. I had a grip lockout installed so I could switch between open and locked easily, but having that function automated allows the shock to adjust for momentary events that would just get ignored (with a manual lockout) resulting in less comfort or efficiency.
I can't really say that it is ever in an obviously incorrect setting and yeah one does feel a bit faster while just having a fun ride and certainly would while racing. It is a lot of money (why the value is only 4 stars), but for an enthusiast who likes to try new technologies it is worth it. And having a retrofit kit available is not as costly as a new fork.
Finally, if one is familiar with maintaining shocks the installation is a breeze (otherwise have your LBS install it for you). I did invest in a non-chamfered socket for the removal of the old damper and the installation of the Flight Attendant as chamfered socket are risky to use on a shock.
