Strengths:    light, simple, effective

Weaknesses:    no compression damping adjustment

Bottom Line:   
I thought I was going to have to pitch this shock when I first bought the bike. It was harsh, harsh, harsh and couldn't hold a line to save it's life. Truly, a hardtail could hold the trail better. Then I fiddled with it and finally took it off and realized the eye bushings were seized. Pressed them out, polished the sleeves, put it all back together with some lubriplate and it turns out, this is one fine shock. It will control the trail chatter, sink the big hits, hold the line and keep things happy. Do wish it had a compression damping adjustment and there is no way to change the oil, so it is a throw-away, but I recommend it to anyone on a budget.
