from Zeist, Utrecht, Netherlands Date Reviewed: October 27, 2009 Strengths: The ability to flip a lever and have your rear suspension locked out is almost a miracle. It's like I have a new bike. All the power now goes directly to the drive train - and it's a lot of power. I was surprised just how much energy was going into flexing the suspension. Plus it's super light and looks awesome! Weaknesses: Just the cost. And the installation instructions for the handlebar remote leave a bit to be desired. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $700.00 Similar Products Used: Progressive 5th Element Bike Setup: Moots Cinco, Pace RC-41 Carbon Fork, Gravity Dropper Adjustable Seatposts with thumb activation, DT Swiss XR 4.1d Rims, Chris King Hubs, SRAM XO drive train, Moots Ti Stem, FSA Carbon Handlebars, Magura Marts SL Hydraulic Disc Brakes

from IA Date Reviewed: July 26, 2008 Strengths: This shock works very well, and is LIGHT, LIGHT, LIGHT. It has a functional lockout that some suspension designs will welcome. Weaknesses: The cost is a bit more than some other comparable shocks in terms of performance, but the weight factor overcomes that quickly. It also requires proprietary mount bushings for each end of the shock, and you may need to tweak them width-wise to fit your particular bike. Also DT Swiss says the elastomer negative bumper should be replaced yearly, but I'll see how that pans out. And, the air fitting is a bit tricky. It sits very close to the shock and you may find as I did that you need to tweak your pump or adapter fitting so it will screw down far enough to seal on the air fitting. All in all, pretty minor though. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: any one not under water Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: online Similar Products Used: Fox Float R, Risse Astro-5, Cane Creek Cloud 9.
