I absolutely AGREE!, i have never seen a new product on the market that has not been superseded with a next version, look at cars, bike etc etc.
i joined this Forum so that i could learn about riding EUC and sharing my experiences, i get a bit naffed when keyboard warriors dis each other, lets just respect each others opinion and agree to disagree, learn from each other and respect passions and preferences.
BTW i absolutely love my KS-18 and enjoy it even when it throws me off and i hurt myself, and yes i did change the damper to a Rockshox Monarch RC-3 now its my own wheel.
