Strengths: Excellent handling shock.Weaknesses: Just the company: They forgot to put the knob on for the high/low speed compression control.Bottom Line: Great shock, never feels like I bottom out at all. I have total control at all times. Anyone that can spend a few dollars that wants extraordinary performance should definately buy the Stratos El Jefe!!

Strengths: The whole shabangWeaknesses: Routing the piggy backBottom Line: I just installed this bad boy today. I never thought that a bike would have the same feel as my motocross bike!?!!! I still have to get the proper spring because I weigh more than the rider who used it a few times before me but just by doing the arm compression and pedaling around my block a bit this thing is Tha Sh!t! Super smooth and like I said, if you've ever compressed a MX bike it feels the same and it should, both this shock and the Avy are copy cats of MX Technology. Highly reccomend this, the only thing I didn't like is routing the piggyback! Make sure you get a long enough oil line. Did I mention they custom build there shocks to the bike and rider weight, can't go wrong there!!!
