What year XTX we talking about? 11-15 they were 144”. A 146” was only offered in 16-17 with the Singleshit skid. If you are used to a well tuned Mono skid you’ll likely find the 144” CK skid rides very harsh, but takes the big stuff well. The star kit softens it up a bunch, but it will never ride as plush. I had my 11 XTX close, through a ton of tuning, but could bottom it on REALLY big stuff. For what it’s worth, I’m back to a custom valved/sprung Mono skid again, and prefer it.

i own a 16 xtx with the up graded 18 shock. with the stock shock, yes the ride sucked. i am happy so far with the upgraded shock with the settings mrsled reccomended.
i also own a 2011 xtx without the star kit. once i got the right springs on it, i loved how it rode and handled.
as i have never rode a well set up mono, went from full olins 05 rx war to the 11, i cannot compare it to the 16-18 apex xtx's. i do know that hygear is making a spring set up for them to take out the air shock that they come with. a few members have this on their sled.
