Hey All

Only new so don't go too hard - just wondering what shock systems are the best.

I don't know all of the various types, all I know of are air, oil then just straight coils etc ?

So can anyone fill me in on the various types of systems and which are the better options and why they are better?

Is it dependant on the type of riding you are doing, downhill versus cross country etc??

Just getting all the info together before I start shopping for a new bike - want to know as much as possible before I start looking seriously.

Regards
Chris

Yes it depends on what you wanna do and how much do you care about weight.
I prefer coil forks and shocks for their sensitivity. Oil damped of course.
