    Strengths:    LIGHT, smooth, slick design.

    Weaknesses:    not to good with high-speed chatter bumps, but still does an alright job.

    Bottom Line:   
    good shock, dont be fooled by its cheap price, works better than a fox dhx air 5.0 that I tried, really buttery travel, and decals are not stickers, get one for your rig!

    Strengths:    Lightweight, plush

    Weaknesses:    none, maybe except the little blue damping switch (semi-lock out) goes around and around and seems flimsy. It does work however.

    Bottom Line:   
    I built my Rogue to be a light AM bike and by replacing the DHX coil, this shock shaved over a pound off my bike. It has a linear feel and is pretty smooth so far. I've only had a couple of rides so I can't comment of long term durability but it does feel 100% better than the DHX air. The blue damping switch is great for those steep climbs. You can switch it from fully active to almost lock-out. Of course it can't compare to a well-tuned coil shock but it's very close. With air front and rear and mostly XC parts, my long travel bike is now a little over 30 lbs....sweet!
