from New Mexico Date Reviewed: November 12, 2003 Strengths: Plush. Plush. Plush. Shocks do not get any plusher than this. And, the increased stroke (34mm) vs. my rock shox coil (25mm) makes a huge difference. I have not had ANY leakage AT ALL. I only have to adjust my pressure every 3 months or so, even though I am an aggressive rider. Changes in damping actually change the action of the shock. Amazing! Contrary to advertising, Rock shox and Fox don't actually have any adjustments. Probably not the lightest, but definitely light. I'm no weight geek, but those of you who are will appreciate the performance/weight ratio. Weaknesses: Haven't found any yet. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Northside Trail Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: Cane Creek direct Similar Products Used: RS coil over, Fox, SID air Bike Setup: Schwinn Homegrown carbon URT full suspension

from pojoaque, nm Date Reviewed: September 19, 2003 Strengths: not much sag or bobbing, nice cush on larger hits, customer servicable is great but so far i haven't had to do much. it's great to be able to change the air volume (spring rate) Weaknesses: heavier than advertised (weights 16 g more than fox float R), i can't tell much difference with the damping settings but I haven't worried too much about it because I seem to like the ride regardless of the damping settings. Air damping generally provides less consistent damping characteristics than oil because it is a compressible gas, rather than an incompressible fluid (oil). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $190.00 Purchased At: cane creek Similar Products Used: Fox Float R, vanilla, and earlier models Bike Setup: Titus Racer X
