Thanks for the input.

Also, NX is the entry level groupset from SRAM. SRAM has the even cheaper OEM-only SX but not sure if you can buy that separately. Deore is the same level as NX. At this range, they are the heaviest and feels the most "unrefined". They work fine really, but it's not as buttery smooth and nice as the more expensive ones.

SLX is supposed to one level higher than the Deore, so it will probably be a bit lighter. You may or may not feel the difference compared to the Deore. The SRAM equivalent at this level would probably be the GX.

Compared to today's new coil shocks, this will feel basic and not very refined. Can't really fine tune it much because you only get compression and rebound setting. Better to stick to a modern air can like a DPS that's probably gonna feel much better, especially for that 7XX price.

how much for the DPX air shock ?

I really like the coil shock, so sensitive, and can make it so soft.

IMO, Deore is actually better than NX.

Not sure how much is it. Usually comes with the bike.

What bike do you want to put the coil on?

Polygon bike in Malaysia profit margin are high. If you calculate like this sure can not compare the entry level vs mid range in other place.

How good or bad is quite subjective really, but polygon is a good first full sus bike, especially if you are coming from a hardtail. Good value for money. You can learn how to get used to it and upgrade parts as you go.

26 inch MTB 17" size aluminum hard tail 1.8kg frame with RM188 selling price still can gain money. Really can not imagine how the local bike can survive.

With that price pair with bolany air fork 26 inch RM2xx 1.7kg + shimano alivio 1x9 speeds + tons of china made stem /handlebar/ seatpost/ saddle can build a hardtail less than 10kg below RM800 budget.

Really a good choice for idea of leisure exercise in residential.
