Strengths: Everything. Amazing response, loads of adjustment, and everything else in betweenWeaknesses: NothingBottom Line: I use this bike allot in all sorts of conditions from dry in summer to bogfiest in winter.
I like riding but hate cleaning so I'm hard on componants and parts which the bike shops seems to love.
Ever since I've been riding full susser bikes I've only ever used Fox until the one I have now. The bike shops always told me FOX where the best, now I know what they meant, great for them, cost me a fortune in servicing!!
The MC3R has been treated like crap, in the year of use I have never looked at, only hose it down when it disappears in the mud, never even checked the air pressure.
And to top it off, it works by far the best of any shock I have used.
She's a WINNER

Strengths: Adjustably. Durability.Weaknesses: Not as sensitive as some.Bottom Line: This is a very good rear shock for old style non-"platform" design 4 or "3 bar"(Trek) type suspensions. Those suspension designs tend to bob under power.(Probably not needed as much for a Vpp or Dwlink type suspension design.)
Anyway, this shock allows great amount of adjustably. With a handlebar mounted remote you can adjust any setting from fully active, partially; to totally locked out. The rebound and platform dial gives even more tune-ability.
I adapted the rock shox dual control remote to just work for this shock by itself to give me total remote control over the shock.
Usually mountain bikers are not able to handle that much control, so this shock (as well as the U-turn, poploc remote, pos,neg,platform adjustable Reba) has only been moderately successful.
Favorite Trail: Dear Creak, 401 up not down

Strengths: Adjustability, Lock OutWeaknesses: Failled after 6 weeks.Bottom Line: Never been happy with the feel of this shock. Played around with settings but never got it right. Then after six weeks of quite hard riding it failled. Now makes a horrible sucking noise on rebound. Sent back to Rock Shox.

Strengths: When filled with air it seems to get the job done well. Takes set in the turns, and gives you confidence.Weaknesses: It won’t hold pressure overnight. I don’t think it should leak down that quickly!Bottom Line: I would not buy this “shock” brand new to put on another bike.
