The key to the Fox Podium is that has a ton of adjustment.
For example, I run the same shock on my hillclimb bike with a +8 arm and also on my drag bike with a +14 arm.
I can dial in the pre-load, compression and rebound for either application.
I have run rebuilt stockers, Elka Stage 3 and Stage 5 and nothing comes close to the adjustability of the Fox Podium, nothing.
