Great shock, comes with a remote lock out option as well. Comes in handy for those long uphills. Has plenty of travel for the all mountain rider and for freeriding. This was a nice upgrade compared to my suntour fork that my bike came with.
A bit flexy. Simple single air chamber. Limited adjustments. Easy to service. Great beginners' all rounder.
