Live valve shocks on trophy trucks work amazing and have been on them for a few years. Highly tuneable and reacting to 7000lb race vehicles hitting whoops at 85mph or picking its way through a rocky wash at 35 mph. I have no doubt they’re amazing on a slow moving bike even if flying down hill. Saving for one for my Canyon Torque!
I see this being very useful on bikes that suck pedaling. For example, it would be great on a Horst link bike allowing it to pedal well while being very active in the chunk.
Yes it will open. There are sensors are the front and back wheel. However when we try to experiment, for example manual or wheelie into an obstacle you can notice it being slightest bit firmer until it opens. Because when both wheels are on the ground the front hits first so by the time the rear wheel (and shock) are being hit, the valve have opened. Pretty neat!
Is there any advantage of this on a Emtb. I would think not... I would like the Fox guru Jordi to give his opinion on high pivot swinging arms ,kickback guff and does he think there is any point in linkage ratios as a lot of bikes now have the shock acting directly in line with swing arm top stay.??? E=mtb² ( is the Amflow E=mtb³ ??)
I have the fox live on my current trance pro e+1. Took a while to set rebound up on the front and rear so nothing to do with live valve. Now i have it all dialled inthe bike is awesome and live valve works without any knowledge it's working away.. great for climbing like a mountain goat and off jumps and landing it's open before you know it. Yep it works. Is it worth the money.. that's a different question. As bike came with it all good. If I had to buy it then probably not given a well set up high end fox factory front and rear setup likely better
What i see it is just a smart climb switch or lock out, see that there still HSC knobs & rebound. Better would be to have live valve on those, not just climbing
There is no physical climb switch on them! The black lever that looks like high speed is to control how firm of a lockout the system gives you. There is potential for HSC but not in the current shock architecture.
And during that time, I still have cavitation issues with my fox X2 without warranty solutions... It s a joke Fox only see us as wallet. For them, minee will be always umpty since then.

I really want to try this!
We’re really liking it on a cool-equipped bike we’ve got for test!

For sure, especially a coil-sprung one!
whats the FCC registered frequency(s) Neo communicates on? guessing its still a sub-ghz . would be handy to have a flipper0 to find out.
Most probably proprietary protocol on 2.4GHz
What happens if you manual ? Does it open it ? Or when you jump ?

Half of what RS did with the flight attendant 😅

Unfortunately that first version I can see so mamy people ripping those sensors off riding through stuff...😮
Time will tell for sure!

@@TheLoamWolf yeap i meant live vale will only auto climb the shock.

Oof, that first crash must of hurt
Follow the leader, Fox. But add additional clunky sensors. And only give the people half the system 🤣
I really dont want electronics on a bike
Dumb. A good suspension platform already climbs and descends well. Ride any DW or 6 bar suspension.
