Pros: Plush, easy installation. smooth

Recommendation: This is a great shock as I have used it. I have ridden on one a few different times on different styles of bikes. It is very smooth over little bumps, but I have not hit any types of big drops to test the big hit ability.

Model/Year: 2011

Pros: Weight
Plush
Easy to setup
Pro pedal

Cons: None

Recommendation: This is the best rear shock I have ever used. The propedal feature is spot on too. Easy to setup and plush is the key to this shock. Worth every penny.

Pros: Pro pedal is awesome. Takes the big hits and is stiff on the climbs. Smooth action and is air adjustable. Lock out can be worked on the fly.

Cons: none

Recommendation: This is the perfect xc shock. Upgraded my frame and this came on it. Love this shock. Good with the small bumps and the big hits.

Model/Year: 2012

Pros: easy to use,easy set up,pro pedal

Cons: only comes in one color

Recommendation: the pro pedal is amazing , fox rocks!

Pros: Light weight
Easy access to levers
Tuning parameters

Cons: NONE

Recommendation: Come on..what can i say that has not been said before about this shock. It is simply one of the best ever designed and due to become a hall of fame alumni.

Pros: Good shock for the price. The 3 are great for change of trail but could wipe out trying to find it.

Cons: Little change with switch

Pros: Light and an industry standard.

Cons: Sometimes the damping seems over whelmed. Rebound can sometimes be unpredictable during long runs.

Recommendation: Industry standard shock. What all other shocks are judged against.

Pros: Light, easy to set up, idiot proof controls. I've ridden them on everything from 100-160mm travel bikes and it's felt at home on them all. Really a great rear shock.

Cons: If anything the bottom out feature on the DHX Air is nice... but really not necessary for most riders.

Recommendation: Best rear shock for most riders.

Pros: Amazing performance!

Cons: The price.

Recommendation: This shock basically offers the same amazing performance of it's cheaper Float R brother, but with increased travel adjustability including full lock out. This lockout feature is so useful to have at your disposal, so if you can afford it, get this shock. Otherwise if you're on a budget, get the Float R.

Pros: everything. This is a terrific component. easily adjusted and lots of cussion on the trails

Cons: needs a pro pedal remote system for easy on the fly engagement

Recommendation: performs extremely well on my Diamondback mission Three with the Knuckle Box. Eats up the trail like there is nothing under me. The pro pedal feature is great for heading up the climbs and on the flats.

Pros: performs extremely well

Cons: price

Recommendation: Although very pricey, this shock is deffinately worth it. Has awsome tuning options and the pro pedal feature really makes a difference out on the trail :)

Pros: Awesome when custom tuned to the frame geometry and travel. The preferred platform shock on a VPP linkage.

Cons: Huh? Won't work on a hardtail.

Recommendation: When you mate this to a properly set-up fork...it's just hands down the best rear shock on the market for XC/AM. Flip the Pro-Pedal on for the climb or technical fun and then flip it off for a full open long travel descent. It helps my bike be all that it can be.

Pros: Easy to set up and works great on my trail bike. The propedal makes quick on the trail adjustments a snap.

Cons: None.

Recommendation: If you want a bump absorbing, easy operating rear shock, buy this one.

Pros: In the Pro-pedel mode it is great. Firm on the uphills and still takes the big hits downhill if you forget to switch. I have ridden with it in Pro-pedal mode the whole ride and barely noticed. Very adjustable

Cons: Lever is somewhat small.

Recommendation: Great for all riding but freeride and all out downhill. Love this shock mounted on a Rocky Mountain ETSX-70.

Pros: Greatly adjustable, once setup this rear shock works great. Using the pro-pedal and the adjustable levels work great for almost all types of riding. It offers great feel for the road.

Cons: Can be pricy which limits some peoples choices. Pro-pedal lever could have been a bit larger.

Recommendation: I recommend this shock for anyone who is upgrading there rear shock. However if your into freeriding or big jumps maybe the DHX is the one for you. This is a good improvement over the RP3 of a few years back.

Pros: Helps to absorb those punishing blows to your lower back and spine. Has the ProPedal feature that helps on the uphills. Very easy to adjust.

Cons: Expensive!! But worth every red cent.

Recommendation: I reccomend it to anyone who has back problems but still just loves to ride!
