For a little over a year now I have been riding a 2019 Santa Cruz Bronson V3. I absolutely love this bike and will likely ride it until the V4 comes out and I upgrade to that! One of the most pleasant things about this bike is the feeling of endless travel. No matter how rowdy and rough the trail gets, you never feel as if the bike is harshly bottoming out. The problem with that is that the bike is actually completely bottoming out all of the time haha. Clearly, I was having a serious problem with the bottoming resistance of the stock Super Deluxe R. My only choice was to run more air, which was basically just a band-aid because all it did was stiffen the suspension across the board, reducing small bump sensitivity. It seemed as if there wasn’t really a middle ground for me, as I could either ride a bike that blows through the travel far too easily or ride a bike that doesn’t provide full travel because I had to pump the shock up too much to stop it from bottoming out.
The easiest solution without breaking the bank? The MegNeg. RockShox offers an increased negative chamber for your stock Super Deluxe shock, and for an incredibly low price considering the massive improvements that it offers. The MegNeg provides enhanced small-bump sensitivity while increasing mid-stroke support and bottoming resistance for all of $90.00 USD. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? It isn’t, I promise.
