from Seattle Date Reviewed: May 31, 2011 Strengths: Extremely reliable, set & forget, no leaking air, no rebuilding, just ride, ride, ride! If you need a rebuild of the seals, $15 gives you all the seals necessary & youtube shows you how to rebuild it in 10 minutes, no tools required if the shock is already off the bike. The Lockout feature is fantastic, although ProPedal now does a great job of giving a stable pedaling platform while still soaking up big bumps. Weaknesses: My shock is an older model without pro pedal. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Galbraith Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $1.00 Purchased At: Came with used frame Similar Products Used: Fox vanilla RC, Avalnce DHS, Fox Float R, RP2, RP23, Romic Bike Setup: 1996 Kona Sex One, all parts upgraded except the frame.

from Manhattan, KS Date Reviewed: April 3, 2010 Strengths: Lightweight build saves on grams. Small diameter leaves room for your water bottle. The seal system retains pressure well. Has a plush rebound if that's what you like, but Propedal can easily be switched on for hill climbing. Easy to overhaul yourself in less than an hour and the Fox rebuild kit costs seven or eight bucks. Weaknesses: Short stroke means that it bottoms out a little quicker. Fox's recommended rebuild every 40 hours is a bit of a pain, but if you ride in the dirt it's worth it. The rebuild kit is cheap and overhauling the shock can be done quickly.

from foco,colorado,usa Date Reviewed: June 25, 2009 Strengths: seems to always be there. Enough suspension to hide most bumps and rocks. Tough as mick jagger's liver. Lockout feature is as stiff as a diamond in a hail storm. Easy switch to lock out. Easy valve. Weaknesses: Either i did something wrong or its the shock but it seems pressure dives after a week. Yet to find a sweet spot with the rebound. Not enough travel to take big drops or hit rocks with speed.

Weaknesses: - It did require the typical minor rebuild for $20 at my LBS after riding it for 4 years. - Too many rebound setting clicks from open to closed. - Can accidentally hit the lockout lever with your leg occassionally.

from Hampshire Date Reviewed: November 4, 2006 Strengths: When it worked it was very nice, but this wasn't for long.. Weaknesses: Lockout stopped working after about 50 miles, i'm always careful not switch it on off road but it broke anyway. After a few days riding in Scotland the damping stopped working correctly, and it hisses everytime it's compressed.
