    Strengths:    Smooth stroke, consistent damping, many adjustments that are simple and easy to use.

    Weaknesses:    hmm. It may not fit every frame out there but so far it has fit a couple of different bike I tried it on. Other than that I am pretty stoked on it.

    Bottom Line:   
    This shock feels great. It feels very linear like the coil shocks I have used but weighs about 1 lb less. The one I have is 7.5 length with 2.0 in stroke. It has some great pedal platform adjustments that go from full open to pretty firm in 4 notches that are great for trail riding and then has a whole separate lever for a full on lockout that is great for serious sprinting and climbs up smooth fireroads or pavement.

    The rebound damping has a wide adjustment range and feels good when doing big drops without bucking you over the bars and can be set fast for fireroad flying.

    Overall, everything I could want in a shock and I am one picky customer. I am riding it as a demo and I don't want to give it back.
