What apex for me?

[dlange]

Trading my Attak on a 2011 or 2012 apex, what
Suspension Would be best for me? I'm 195 dressed up, and the
Sled will be all trail riding. Dealer has a 2011 se, 11 xtx,
And a 12 standard and xtx. Im leaning tward xtx, but will it be
Much rougher than the mono? Thanks for the help.

No one can really answer that question for you, without specifics on what your looking for in a suspension, or knowing what your typical riding conditions are like, are you mainly a groomed trail rider, or off trail, ditch banger?

As for the XTX, I do not believe it is rougher, actually I think its the other way around the longer track actually makes the suspension smoother, as it absorbs the larger bumps better. I have not tested an XTX do I cannot comment, but if I was buying that new, I would be looking for one.

Just bought a 2011 xtx and I ride mostly trails. the research indicated that the xtx was the best trail handling apex. The only down side was hyfax wear, but I believe the Dupont sliders fixed that. I am installing them after the stock wear out. Also get them to put on the new tuner skies. XTX was my call

all trail riding. Looking for softest ride possible without bottoming out every 30 feet. Can the 144 be set up soft and plush for 195 lb trail riding
