from Germany Date Reviewed: October 18, 2010 Strengths: simple external adjustements (2 low speed needles) for fine tuning, can be adjustet internally to suit any frame or rider (fully revalvable high speed circuits). incredibly easy to rebuild and bleed. Weaknesses: Highspeed Adjustment only internally (no external clicker). Shaft wears quickly but is cheap to replace. Internal adjustments need a (heck of a) lot of knowledge of how damping works. NOT for everybody. German distributor is an idiot. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Harz / Ore Mountains Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $2500.00 Purchased At: Alutech Bikes, came Similar Products Used: Vanilla RC, DHX, Swinger, Revox, Vivid, RC4... To be exact, the whole bunch of them. Bike Setup: Alutech Wildsau Enduro Custom with Boxxer (homemade damping cartridge), a lot of tune, dt swiss and shimano gear around.

from Escondido, CA Date Reviewed: January 27, 2010 Strengths: Highly adjustable and high performance! Does what it should and never get's in the way. No platform damping to screw up your low speed compression, no funky adjustable 'propedal' platform to screw with you... just smooth, buttery, predictable damping throughout the stroke. Weaknesses: On frame designs that rely upon the shock for structual support, can break... but that's true of any shock and is more a function of poor frame design than anything else. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The ones that go downhill Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $350.00 Purchased At: A secret spot...

from New Brunswick, Canada Date Reviewed: September 27, 2009 Strengths: suppleness over washboard surfaces, adjustability, bottom-out resistance, looks, takes big hits nicely. Great for free-ride or dh. Weaknesses: pedaling performance if set up on the soft side; performance over the rough stuff more than makes up for this. Don't buy for cross country purposes. The spring is also on the heavy side but I cannot find a dealer who stocks the ti spring which is supposed to be available.

from Irvine, ca, USA Date Reviewed: July 13, 2008 Strengths: The sensitivity is amazing and it handles the trail stutters and chop like you would not believe! No platform so it is very plush and gives amazing control. Weaknesses: When shock was delivered it was damaged but I took it to Marzocchi and replaced it no questions. Rebound knob too long so I had to take it off to fit my frame. Should be shorter like the Fox rebound knob.

from japan Date Reviewed: June 5, 2007 Strengths: looks and overall ride. its easy to overhaul and set up. Weaknesses: the stock eyelet bushings were very loose, and no matter how tight i tighen the bolts there was a little play.so i orderded some stock fox bushings and since then there has been no problems. i guess about 1mm makes a big differnce. rebound was a little slow so i overhauled it with 5wt oil and then removed every other shim on the rebound side and now i have better control of the rebound and compression.

from Warsaw, Poland Date Reviewed: March 2, 2007 Strengths: with what we can start... Hmm flawlessss,plush, compresion and rebound easy to dail up no problem with that al all and last but not least LOOK. alsaw it will fit ALL frames not like my last DHS :) Weaknesses: well it is flawles easy to dail up and stuff but the only thing that is bothering me is that you have to punp it up to min. 180PSI when You get it. Unfortunatly I forgot about that and did it after my firs cruze on Roco - it started to make a very little, almost impossible to hear sound while compressing in every shafts position. Dont know yet if it is because oil went into the air chamber or Roco is just working that way Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: my friends MTB store Similar Products Used: Well the only thing that comes to my mind is Avy DHS... for me non other compers to Roco Bike Setup: VP-Free w/Roco ofcourse, 888 RC 05 w/flat lower clamp, Titec El Norte Golc components, Mavic and DT Swiss wheels, Hope M6Ti up front and Hayes9 in a back, Truvativ and shimano drive train
