Both my boxxer and Kenevo were built in 2020 and purchased in 2021 and could be much different compared to the new 2025 boxxer. I reamed my bushings in the fork lowers before I did anything else but my particular Boxxer seemed very harsh and could not use all the travel with the stock set up so I explored other options like the Avalanche offerings. When you buy custom suspension tunes or components from push or avalanche or other companies, you get a custom tuned set up for your riding style, your weight, your preferred damping characteristics, terrain, etc. You probably won’t get ultimate performance from your shock and fork by buying off the shelf SRAM or Rockshox components unless you tune the fork and shock damper by swapping out shims, modifying port diameters, etc yourself. I’m not saying you wont achieve the type of performance you are seeking by using rock shocks parts, I’m just saying that I went with a custom tuned option and I’m pretty happy.

I've found a DH38 that the seller is going to tune for me as well 👌👌

I've always been more of a rider than a messer so I wasn't really looking for something absolutely dialled in for me, but that boxxer is so bad i've ended up going to the other Extreme
