Welcome to a special edition of the Pink Bike podcast.

It's coming out on Thursday this week for a very special region.

Sometimes, I get dry mouth and I turn into Sean Connery.

I'm like, a very special vision.

But that special reason is because there is an updated rock shock damper and it falls in nicely

with the updated fox damper that we saw very recently.

Kaz previously, I think that, you know, we've seen the

really big, you know, fundamental shifts in damping afforded by going to something like

the Grip 2 or maybe going to the Charger, I guess it would have been the Charger 3 last year,

when, you know, each generation seems to be really big.

These ones don't seem like such a massive step.

Would you have to just give the quick rundown of starting with the Rock Shocks what they've done differently in this Charger 3.1?

Yeah, so basically with the Charger 3.1, their goal was to increase the amount of range for the whole time,

for low speed compression and high speed compression in order

to give riders basically more tuning options so you don't get locked into you know you have a certain

number of clicks but if those clicks don't give you as you know light of a compression tune as

you want or heavy as a compression tune then you might need to go into kind of custom options

which they actually offer now but either way the out of the box the stock settings just gives

you more range because they're finding that people are handing up way, out of the box, the stock settings just gives you more range

because they're finding that people are heading up at the extremes of the dials

and they just wanted to kind of make it so you can get it closer

to the way you want to feel on the trail.
