Shebeen Posted February 16, 2017 Share reverse engineering this is not a big deal. pressure sensor - 5$3 axis accelermoeter - 10$ if it really works, then someone else will do the work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted February 16, 2017 Share This thing is aimed at Enduro and DH riders in the main I suspect. Short travel suspension presents far fewer tuning issues/options than the 120mm and over department. As forks and shocks get more settings parameters a device like this becomes more useful. But at that price they can keep it. M Hickley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtb impi Posted February 16, 2017 Share Could have bought a handful, saving me twice the trip to a hospital, due to poor suspension setup. AdamA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted February 17, 2017 Share + Arduino or Raspberry Pii think the true value of shockwiz resides within the software and the thousands of existing data points the device seems to rely on to make recommendations on changes to the shock&fork settings. the hardware in comparison, is childsplay.

NINER_boy Posted February 19, 2017 Share Looks nice, but sure once the shock pressures are tuned in they are tuned in, and you can dot them down and top up to that. Don't quite understand how this will be something fitted permanently on a bike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quite understand how this will be something fitted permanently on a bike...I think the aim would be to fine-tune suspension for the type of ride you intend doing and to see how changing one variable affects other variables (think about the downforce setup of a F1 car for various tracks). Imagine doing a few practice runs for a DH race and being able to review various suspension setups for your timed run. It certainly has some appeal.

It certainly has some appeal.Lets say the improvement is 5% ( I don't believe you'd be able to improve much more with this tool) its still 5k-6k for that small margin. And to the guys who 5% matter to like pro downhill or enduro riders they already know exactly what they need from their suspension and don't need A tool like this to tell them that. Their bodies are probably more sensitive to how the suspension setup must be to get the most out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pointless to use this on something like a 100mm bike, as the range of suspension tuning that you can really do is so limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With only a 100mm of travel, it is more important to be setup correctly? You do not have the luxury of those extra mm? Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
