Diverse Suspension is originally from the world of motocross and have recently jumped into the mountain bike game. Their Dueler DH shock approaches suspension in a different way to a lot of other mountain bike suspension companies. Instead of complicated dampers with strange names, the Dueler uses straight forward adjustments and a simple, but proven, motocross based design. No silly pedaling platforms or lockout switches, just oil and shims. Adjustments include separate high and low speed compression, rebound, and pre-load. On top of their shocks Diverse also sells titanium springs to fit pretty much any shock made and starting at only $149 USD.

One thing that sets the Dueler apart from most other shocks is that the rider or mechanic has access to every single part within the shock. From seals and bumpers, to shims and even pistons, the consumer can contact Diverse Suspension directly and perform their own work. You'll also find exploded views which should help. For those of you out there who have the desire and knowledge (or at least want the knowledge), this should be a huge bonus. Diverse also has all the tools that you'll need available for sale. Big props!

"(excluding wear and tear)" oh, dur...
Not a bad price though.
Did you mean 9.5?
Tough call between this and and Elka.
