The 02 RPV shock is equipped with the new PowerValve technology. This technology is for the advanced rider who prefers a pre-set performance setting for all riding conditions. The 02 RPV has externally adjustable rebound, a feature desireable for the end user who understands the basics of suspension tuning and appreciates the ability to fine tune their ride.

Strengths: Cheap and performant, acceptable stabile platform
Weaknesses: none yet, looks cheap
Bottom Line:
I needed a cheap and good rear shock to replace the Manitou Q L crap (very fast rebound, non adjustable). I found this X-fusion at a very good price and I bought it to use it until I have the money for a better one. I was surprised to find out that this shock is really good, it has an acceptable stability platform for climbing and a precise rebound adjust. It seems that I won't replace it anymore.
