Strengths: No pro pedal, supple, smooth and can take the big hits. Separate high and low compression knobs and a very effective boost valve adjustment.Weaknesses: Wish you did not need an allen key to adjust the compression knobs.Bottom Line: I have to say I have been disappointed with fox(40, dhx 5) in the past but they seem to have delivered the goods on this shock. It is very sensitive and can still handle big hits and there are no more nagging pro pedal affects. Separate adjustment knobs and I love the redesigned boost valve. Larger diameter shaft and more oil flow keep this thing super consistent. I have been waiting for this thing and I dont think you will be disappointed.
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month

Strengths: Separate High and Low Compression adjustments.
All the adjustments you need...none you dont.
Weaknesses: None so far.Bottom Line: Lots of adjustment to fine tune your ride gives this shock the edge over the previous DHX models. The RC4 gets rid of Pro Pedal which is completely useless on a downhill specific shock anyway. Having separate High and Low compression adjustment is really handy, but may make things a bit tricky for people new to shock tuning. Unlike other shocks I have tried, when you make an adjustment on the RC4 you actually feel a difference. All in all buy this shock, Im a heavy rider (230) and this takes big drops without a hitch...way to go Fox.
Favorite Trail: Ponca State Park
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Purchased At: Directly from Fox
