Shoulda stayed with coil

The Good
Light weight
The Bad
Unreliable. RockShox Super Deluxe Air couldn’t handle 8 rides before losing air seals. Not a great service life
Overall Review:

Blew out an air seal on the 8th ride. That’s correct, only 8 (eight) rides on my new 2018 Nomad and the RockShox Super Deluxe Air shock is already toast. Took it back to my local Santa Cruz dealer, as instructed, and the warranty repair/replacement process has begun but now I’m looking at weeks or a month before getting back on the trail. Meanwhile, I’m stuck on my REALLY old and heavy DH bike that’s still rocking the same 20 year old coil shock (never had one issue with the coil shock in 20 years). Shoulda stayed with coil!

The Nomad is advertised as having “V10 handling at Syndicate speeds”. Too bad they decided to throw on an air shock instead of coil. Pretty bummed with my purchase.
