    Strengths:    does the job very well

    Weaknesses:    oil seepage

    Bottom Line:   
    this shock came on my used F1, I was a bit worried about it because there was more oil outside of it than i'm used to seeing. So far It's a non issue as the shock damps... well pretty much flawlessly. It eats up rock gardens at slow or high speed, the bike stays hooked up, and does everything it's supposed to do. I can ride the world cup course at bromont with this thing. full marks avalanche.

    Strengths:    Extremely reliable, tuneable, burly.with ti spring barely heavier than a fox, looks, PERFORMANCE!!!!

    Weaknesses:    NONE!!! The weight of a fox dhx 5.0 and a dhs is only 2-3ozs. Avys are weighed with oil and bushings.

    Bottom Line:   
    This is the only shock that I will run, it has complete adjustments and is relaible. I have never blown or damaged my shock in 3 years of stupid riding and drops to flat. It can also be used as a race shock, I use it all the time. They can be rebuild and tuned as well as shimmed for rider style/weight and terrain as well as a DH set up or a FR valving.
