There is something about the Xray that I can’t figure out… Why are the Xray touring shock absorbers in plastic when other models use metal? The only reason I have heard is that “it is better” 
Dose anyone have a good answer to this that I can understand

The stock composite pieces are light and ultra smooth. Xray produces alloy bodies for those who simply 'must have' them, even though the larger majority of team drivers prefer the feel and instant feedback of the composite bodies. Some proponents of the alloy components point out that in certain severe impacts the bodies on the composites can become damaged or break. In that form of severe impact, you also risk damaging the alloy bodies and/or shock shafts, however it may not be noticed at the time and instead manifest itself as erratic handling that is difficult to identify the source. To answer your question - 'Why..?'....it's simple...they work exceptionally well. |

After reading your answer I never want to use alloy damper bodies 
Thank you for a good answer. |
