Model/Year: 2005

Pros: V brake or disc

Cons: Heavy
No rebound setting

Recommendation: This came stock on a 2005 Rockhopper. I was very disappointed with this shock. There is a lot of stiction before it engages and a lot of unchecked rebound, plus it is heavy. You should avoid this shock.

Recommendation: I know this is but an entry level shock, but you wouldn't even know it. the tpc lockout makes switching from the trails to the street easier than swithing gears
