from Rainier, OR Date Reviewed: May 30, 2007 Strengths: Great feel and control. Works as well or better as any coil shock I've either owned or demo'd. Reactor Valve limits (but not eliminates) pedal induced movement. Weaknesses: Customer service...that would actually require that Romic either answers their phone or returns messages and e-mails...they seem incapable of either Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Stella Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $133.00 Purchased At: E-bay Similar Products Used: Fox Vanilla RC, Fox Vanilla R w/pro-pedal Bike Setup: 2005 Jamis XLT

from Michigan Date Reviewed: March 12, 2006 Strengths: Leaps and bounds ahead of a DNM shock. Good, noticeable adjustments. The anti-bob system puts my Marz. 120 MX Comp ETA fork to shame (although, an awsome fork especially for the price) Weaknesses: The one I got came with the KHS FR 2000 03 frame I bought, so I'm a bit worried about the tolerance issues Romic was having around that time. Half a year and no problems yet, so maybe mine isn't defective (I hope) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $350.00 Purchased At: cambriabike.com Similar Products Used: DNM shock- absolute crap. I had to crank the preload all the way up unless I wanted my bike to be a giant pogo stick. Bike Setup: KHS FR2000 frame, 4 piston XT discs, marz. fork
