Does anyone know if CCE redesigned their TourTrac caps to fit the Axeo's? Found an old thread that mentioned this, fired off an email to CCE but probably won't get an answer until Monday.
Was the switch worth it? What are the major differences in ride quality?
Thanks
While the front suspension adds somewhat to ride quality, that is more attributable to the rear shocks. Where the Axeo shines is in handling. No more front end dive. No more wallowing in high speed corners. The bike always feels well planted and solid in all riding conditions. The front end isn’t bouncing around on rough roads. It’s almost hard to describe without feeling it. The combination of Revo-A’s on the back and Axeo’s on the front have increased the riding pleasure at least ten fold. I now look forward to the ride, regardless of where we are going. I used to cringe whenever we hit rough roads.

Thanks for the review. I'm running Progressive monotubes and 944 shocks now. The Progressive setup is an improvement over the stock ride, but a bit harsh; I'm looking for firm and compliant. I've heard good things about the Revo/Axeo combination and was hoping to hear from those that have had both.
