Custom Axis is a company I am looking at to replace my Elka Elites but I had a few questions. They released something called the Plush Ride about 1 year ago and Custom Axis claims it helps prevent bottoming out by adding more compression further in the stroke. Is this some technology exclusive to Custom Axis, or does PEP and Motowoz have something equivalent to help prevent bottoming? Does the Custom Axis Plush Ride do a better job at resisting bottoming than PEP or Motowoz?
Custom Axis also has a setup known as the X link which is a 3rd canister that helps balance out the nitrogen pressure in each shock which in theory helps the bike to have less body roll in the turns. Does anyone have any experience with this setup? Does it compromise the travel when only one front tire hits a pothole on a straight away? I'm wondering if the impact from one tire/shock will transfer to the other side since they share the same nitrogen bottle. Is the x link strictly for MX or does it have its advantages in Desert and Grand Prix Races?
