Recently upgraded the shock on my Kenevo to an 11.6, all I can say is... wow. The difference between spring/oil and air is night and day. You can feel the progression of the suspension through the entire stroke-which I don't really think you can feel with an air shock IMO, and the way it reacts at different size bumps at different speeds is iunreal. Overall improvements at any speeds in a variety of conditions. No question this will improve my riding. The bike has a more playful, thoughtful feel to it. Worth every penny!
