Does anybody know what's the difference between Indy C and XC?

Supposedly, the XC has butted chrome moly upper stanchions, which cuts a
little weight.

Also, the XC has MCU elastomers instead of solid elastomers like the Indy C.

Common Features:

(1) One piece mag casting
(2) Standard 63mm travel
(3) Resi Wiper System (Double lipped dust wiper with grease - better
protection from elements and reduces stiction).
(4) Type II Spring System
(5) Steel Steerers

Differences:

* Indy C
- Uses the same Kryptonics elastomer in the type II spring system that
the Quadra 5 uses. (Faster Rebound)
- Straight gauge steel upper tubes
- Heavier
- Color: Cream with blue decal

* Indy XC
- Uses the same MCU material as Judy bumpers in the type II spring
system. (More rebound control)
- Butted Steel upper tubes
- Lighter
- 75mm Long travel kit available
- Color: Cream with red decal

Note: You can make an Indy C long travel but you would need to replace
the spring system as well as the lower plungers (more $$$).

Enjoy whichever you choose!
