from Phoenix, Arizona Date Reviewed: April 1, 2011 Strengths: This shock works! Set-up is totally different from most shocks, run more air! Perhaps too little air is the reason some people have stuffed this shock. Easy set up, doesn't leak. Pro-Pedal switch easier to reach, but don't need to use. Weaknesses: Sticky skin too thin, cable wore right through it. Damping knob a little difficult to get to but once dialed in not a fuss. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Jedhi Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: Giant Bicycles Similar Products Used: I've had Manitou SPV, Fox RP3, and RP23 on my last three Reigns. Bike Setup: '09 Giant Reign 1, upgrades include XO rear derailer and shifters, bash guard, 90mm stem, Easton Haven wheels.

from Ft Worth Date Reviewed: March 26, 2011 Strengths: It makes the bike look tough(Enduro)...it holds air. Weaknesses: I have had this shock on my bike since 2006 and like others it stuck down on its third ride..had to be rebuilt...over the years I have left my Enduro sitting because of this shock and opted to ride my other bikes..the shock is like a pogo stick..when it gets going it really pogos..propedal on this thing is useless..it works reallly good if the trail is pointed down...all the time..anything else it makes the bike perform like some cheap out of control FS bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: North Texas Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Other Fox products Bike Setup: 2006 Specialized Enduro..

Looks very solid and feels solid in addition to adjustment options (Pro pedal) Weaknesses: It took a while to get the setting right. It does require more psi than I was expecting (approx. 175 psi) for my body weight I have never set my rear shock as much as that. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Turning Japanese (Daisy Hill) Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $1.00 Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: Specialized rear shock on Stumpjumper Comps 2008's.

Takes a while to get dialed in correctly.

from Alberta, Canada Date Reviewed: September 16, 2007 Strengths: Propedal works well you can limit the peddle bob with this ajustment. Weaknesses: I am disapointed with this product. First time ever I buy an expensive bike. Assumed that all components would work flawless. Mistake the shock id leaking oil from the rebound adjust button, the dealer supposedly sent it back to get rebuilt but the didn't fix the problem. Can you guess the shock is still leaking and from the same location. You would think that if you bought a high end bike the store or manufacturer would go out of their way to make sure all components work probably before selling them. Save your money and buy a Walmart throw away, you'll be happier you did!!

from Creston, BC, Canada Date Reviewed: June 9, 2007 Strengths: ummmm........ nice colour????? Sorry, that's all I could come up with. Weaknesses: I just got the bike back from a warranty job on the shock because it stuck down. I guess I have about 4 or 5 rides in now since I got it back and it happened again. I was 25 km's out and had to gingerly ride it back so I didn't rip my tire to shreds or pull off the front derailer. (Enduro riders will relate) I was pissed. I'm sending it back but this will be another 2-3 weeks off of riding because of this useless piece of junk. Thats twice in less then 5 months of riding. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: came on the bike. Similar Products Used: My walmart bike with the rear suspension lasted years longer then this thing has.
