from Dover, NJ, USA Date Reviewed: May 27, 2003 Strengths: This shock kicks MAJOR ASS! This shock has given me tremendous gains in control and has allowed me to ride much faster than I probably should be. I absolutely love the four inches of travel, definitely the way to go. Weaknesses: The oil that comes in it from the factory is just a little bit to heavy and needed to be changed to a lighter oil. The seals can be problematic, if you have them changed every year to year and a half you will be fine. There is a little bit of stiction at the top of the shock, but you don't notice it when u are on the bike since your body weight pretty much compresses the shock past that point. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Too many to chose from to just pick one! Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $200.00 Purchased At: Cycle Craft in Chester Similar Products Used: Manitou SX (sucks), Head Shock Super Fatty D (ok but sucks in comparison to the Bomber) Bike Setup: CAAD 4, XT derailures and hubs, Mavic D521 rims, yellow Race Face Turbine LP crank with Black Spire Big Ring Protector ( mad sweet setup) Rock Shox seatpost shock, WTB Stealth saddle (very comfortable), yellow stiffy stem, EA 70 bar
