Pros: Works like a coil shock without the weight of a coil. Adjusts easy enough and once again I don't need to purchase seperate coils

Cons: none

Recommendation: Excellent design and works well for those long travel gravity bikes like FR - DH bikes. Having used this unit I was impressed at the fade free operation. Adjusts just like the Vivid coil with the addition of air to the spring chamber. The dual dampening works very well. I love the fact there is no platform on this rather a sensable compression adjustment with the beginning and end rebound controls.
