As long as the seals are okay then the mud shouldn’t be an issue, they’re designed with grit in mind
Well it’s a fox pos so of course it’s not going to live long.
I’ll never buy a bike that has the shock behind the seat post and not in the front triangle. Neither will I buy one that has the shock upside down. Your bike seems to have both…
A mobile wash would be a good investment. I just bought a battery operated power wash and a 5gal bucket.
Obviously they’re meant for this, but just like with everything, if used in severe environment it’ll need frequent maintenance, and replacement of usables.
If a full suspension is subjected to this much amount of rain and mud multiple times a month, how often does it need servicing ?
You took it off covered in mud? Then took pics covered in mud. Either smoke or post but don’t do both
Just clean after riding and maintain regularly. I too ride a lot in the wet, mud, sleet and snow and my suspension has survived just fine. It might need servicing more often than usual, but that’s all.
