Suspension A very welcome addition to the XCx is the WP suspension on both the front forks and the monoshock rear. The front forks will give you 8.7” of play for rebound damping and the monoshock will travel 8.5” with adjustment for hydraulic preload. So you’re not going to have much issue with the bumps and lumps of even the most used of Byways that you want to play on. On the roa d there is a feeling of controlled power, because that is just what you’re getting and confidence swells when pulling out from a bend with a little G force that sticks you to the road like a Silverback’s grip on the last banana.
