Strengths: price is cheap, and at least it worked for about 3 months.Weaknesses: NO DURABILITY WHATSOEVER!!! I dropped a flight of stairs only about 1.5 meters high last night, and I broke the shock's pivot in two! What a $&$%^#$% waste of my @#$#% money!!!!Bottom Line: Do not EVER buy this worthless piece of crap. It makes all sorts of weird noises, breaks very easily, and looks bad as well. Go for a Fox or Rockshox. Don't buy the rear shocks manufactured from the Pacific Rim.

Strengths: Cheap, okay for ridders who have just started out mountain biking.Weaknesses: Not very well engineered shock, for what it is made for. Not that smooth and also the internals of the shock, look like some sort of toy town production.Bottom Line: Overall the shock is alright for the money. If shockworks are going to make a shock, they could atleast make it properly.

Strengths: its a cheap shock that works really good when its working.Weaknesses: i keep getting this cracking noise but i just had it adjusted to far out and the spring was getting traped witch would make this loud cracking noise. so i adjusted the shock in wow way better. until the cracking noise came back. i now have basically no rear travel (0.25) but on the good side it works well. but for a freerider you need something more than that.Bottom Line: if you want a really plush (0.25) of travel this is the shock for you. but if u want a full suspension and u arent some crazy x-country racer than u should probably look for something else.

Strengths: good priceWeaknesses: intermitant failure of shock reboundBottom Line: this shock promised much and delivered little....
the intermitant failure of this product ruined what would have been a top day out.
it appears that the damping circuit is failing, cause unknown.
i will be taking the advice of other on-line bikers and changing the shock for a fox vanilla rc.

Strengths:
Rigidity, adjustability, PriceWeaknesses:
Haven't had it long enoughBottom Line: Blew up the RST (again) on last practise run before a race, fitted the Shockworks and the bike immediatly felt more balanced and more rigid. Went well in the race run (6KM lots of fast fire road and speed bumps braking bumps and tussock grass singletrack). Love the adjustability the feel and the price.
