djer...for both...the enchanced damping (depending on which z1 but I assume you are talking the dropoff, isnt signifigantly better) would not be noticed anyways in either of those type of riding...

Like I said. For what you want the djer will be fine and I believe saves you money.

I agree with Mael. I would recommend the Z1 if and only if you climb a lot and bought the one with the ETA.

Otherwise, stick with the DJ.
