So this is a review for DVO as a company, the Topaz rear shock, and the Onyx SC front fork...
I have a 2019 Specialized Turbo Levo Expert. It came with a rear RS and a RS RC29 Pike. I am a larger faster rider and neither the front or the rear felt right after multiple tinkerings. So...after LBS said switch to DVO I replaced the rear shock with a Topaz and tinkered with the spacers and air pressure until I felt I had it dialed. I also had DVO custom tune. It immediately climbed better and it s middle setting for compression it never leaves and I never lock out because it s too harsh and just climbs better, faster, smoother in the middle setting, in what you might call trail mode. Awesome difference! It was too soft so added spacers for more progressiveness... even more awesome and easy to do. But the bike still felt funky and harsh in the front no matter what I did with RS adjustments, tokens and air pressure and created way, way too much arm fatigue.. I finally took the LBS suggestion and sprung for the DVO Onyx SC. Had it DVO tuned, adjusted a little and went and rode. The first ride was awkward...but it was me being tentative...the second ride on the same trail I decided to let go and see what would happen. The only way to describe this was precision handling and improvement galore and no arm fatigue! The bike goes where I point it and descends and corners unbelievably better. It is a confidence maker, doesn t pack and reminds me of dirt bike suspension! The other thing is combined with the rear DVO Topaz the bike is now balanced in all ways (this was not the case with Topaz in rear and RS in front since the RS fork still sucked IMO). DVO rocks! Those other manufacturers are going to have to watch out because without OTT and this design they are waaayyyy behind. DVO customer service is also super awesome and it s hard to explain what s its like to talk to a company that actually picks up the phone and talks to you. It doesn t exist almost anywhere but it definitely does at DVO! I was very hesitant to switch from the big 2 but am so glad I did. I really cannot put into words the difference in suspension quality and handling.
Trust me make the switch and you will never look back. DVO is simply a better product IMO with superior customer service.
The Onyx SC and Topaz rock and so does DVO!
My bike is a whole new bike! Way mo better!
