DVO 36 Onyx Review

This is my recommended junk list to make videos and be a suspension nerd

Thanks for the video, I ended up getting the Onyx as there is a sale from DVO on this model + 20% off making it $499 ... which seamed like a steal. So I splurged for their custom tune.

So this is the Onyx SC D1? If so, it's the fork I run. Love it. People sleep on this brand. But for me, it does everything I ask of it. Easy to adjust with the recommended settings that worked for me the first time.

I have a DVO 36 Onyx SC E1 on my 150/160mm travel BRAZN e-bike (it's a pre-production bike), and it's a STUNNING fork - stiff, responsive, and just super well behaved.
I'm just over 300lb in old testament, and it isn't fazed by my weight one bit. As you state, it's GREAT as a Trail/All Mtn fork, though when I tried to jump it, I have to say that I LOVED it in conjunction with the Topaz 3 on the rear.
Re your weight comparison, I do wonder how much of that (vs the Fox 36) comes down to the coil etc on the inside, rather than the chassis weight of the thing?
Still, great video, keep up the good work!

What are your top favorite forks right now?

I have an Onyx D1 on my analog bike and it feels pretty good in motion on the trail, but setting sag is super difficult as it takes a ton of force to get it to break free. I just had it serviced professionally as I thought that would solve it, but it made no difference. As I said, in motion it feels completely fine. Anyone else notice crazy stiction that disappears on the trail?

i wonder if its possible to swap dampers with rockshox

What range cassette you using with a short cage derailleur? Im thinking of doing exactly the same thing but using 10s Deore Linkglide.

Hi can you add extra oil to the air side to work like tokens?
