Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by Suvacrew   on June 18, 2009   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. Verdict 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. Recommended for: Experienced XC riders reviewed by bstill30   on June 13, 2009   Pros Easy to set up and works great on my trail bike. The propedal makes quick on the trail adjustments a snap. Cons None. Verdict If you want a bump absorbing, easy operating rear shock, buy this one. Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by bikeit420   on February 8, 2009   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. Verdict Great for all riding but freeride and all out downhill. Love this shock mounted on a Rocky Mountain ETSX-70. Recommended for: Experienced XC riders reviewed by element22   on February 7, 2009   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. Verdict 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. Recommended for: Experienced XC riders reviewed by JAMIS-JUNKIE   on December 9, 2008   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. Verdict I reccomend it to anyone who has back problems but still just loves to ride! Recommended for: Anyone
