Strengths: Very good damping and control through the range of travel. Consistent performance even when hot.Weaknesses: Blew up after only 3 days.
All of the rebound control is at the end of the rebound knob's range.Bottom Line: Worked well but blew all its oil out on the third day that I used it. Marin UK were unhelpful about a replacement as I had bought the bike in the UK and they refused to send any replacement to France where I live. I am not going to drive 1500 miles just to get a shock replaced.
I'm now looking at a replacement bill of lots of money for a damping unit that I have only had about 5 hours use out of. The only way to get a rebuild is to send the unit to the UK where they have a jig to re-pressurise it and lose out on the lift ticket that I had just purchased for the next 15 days. I only hope I can source another shock that fits out here in France.
Crap.

This is for Shockworks NB coil over rear shock. Reasonable price. Awesome performance.Very adjustable with compression and rebound damping. seems durableWeaknesses:
none yet!Bottom Line: These shocks rule! I've seen some not so happy reviews about the lower spec Shock Works rear shocks (in the forks section!) But these higher end models are excellent!
