    Strengths:Extremely reliable, tuneable, burly.with ti spring barely heavier than a fox, looks, PERFORMANCE!!!!

    Similar Products Used:fox stratos manitou
    Bike Setup:Canfield F1 - Avalanche DHS Ti spring - I-9's - 888WC - middleburns etc....
    Bottom Line:This is the only shock that I will run, it has complete adjustments and is relaible. I have never blown or damaged my shock in 3 years of stupid riding and drops to flat. It can also be used as a race shock, I use it all the time. They can be rebuild and tuned as well as shimmed for rider style/weight and terrain as well as a DH set up or a FR valving.
