from UK Date Reviewed: April 13, 2003 Strengths: The 3 best things about this shock are tunability, the ball-joint eyelets and the plushness. I'm runing it at much lower PSi than my Float RL and it feels so much more lively. The massive adjustment range on the rebound is also v.good, and the lok-out is v.positive and takes quite some force to un-lok it. The ball joints are ingenious yet simple - super smooth and negate frame/swingarm mis-alignment. Weaknesses: Durability - I have suffered air loss problems, a loose ball-joint and air in the oil chamber. Yes they have been sorted out, and you could argue it is DT's first attempt at a rear shock but all the problems are quite elementary and should have been check prior to shipping etc. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Similar Products Used: Float RL Bike Setup: Scott Strike

from Reno, NV USA Date Reviewed: March 5, 2003 Strengths: I bought this shock as an update for my xc dually. The installation was easy and set up was simple with the sag ring. The shock increased he plushness of the ride, made the bike feel livelier in hard pedalling and climbed without any suspension bob. The rebound adjuster is easy to set and the lock-out is easy to switch. The shock is typical DT quality with sealed bearings at the eyelets and machined spacer bushings with rubber seals to fit your frame dimentions. my shock was 165mm set up for 9mm of sag. I ended up with about 148 lbs inflation for my 200 lb weight. What i really like best about this shock is that with a 3" rear travel, the bike no longer bounces out of full compression. Weaknesses: Cost, availability perhaps, Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: tahoe rim trail Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Similar Products Used: Cane Creek AD12, Fox Float Bike Setup: 02 w/xtr and UST
