has anyone tried both the boss and dhx on dh bikes? which to you think is better? i currently run a boss but there is great hype about the dhx. im also asking around in mtbr but they dont know much about the boss coz most of them only know about american rigs and havent tried bikes like a bazooka(with boss stock).... thanx in advance

i personally have never seen that marzocchi rear shock anywhere here in vancouver. been hearing ONLY good things on the DHX though. thats because marzochi doesnt offer their OEM services for the boss to north american companies, thats why its so hard to get a comparison even in mtbr.... have you ever compared a DHX to a risse jupiter 7? i ask this because i know for a fact that the jupiter 7 is better than the boss for the bazooka...and if the DHX is better than the risse then.....

;Dwhat hype?
for this year, dhx shock has already won 3 first place finish in the philippine local dh race, (loag city, taytay rizal, culasi antique)
fox dhx shock fined tuned specifically for pro rider joey barba's, weight and riding style
loag: (yeti dh9 mono with 5.0 dhx) this was borrowed from a novice racer. (check team haooh's gallery from their website)
taytay and antique: (exxtension -> clone azonic recoil with 3.0 dhx)

the DHX did NOT win the race. the rider (assumption: on a finely tuned machine) did. ;D

Haven't really tried BOSS shocks but I think FOX is still the most realiable shock on the market. Tried and tested! i.e. "subok na!"

hey peachy downhill racing is also labanan ng technology. just like f1 is it just like saying ferrari did not win the race its the driver (shumi) hehehehe.
consider the years of r&d and rider/driver input on the products we mortals currently use.
