looking to get a new rear shock (coil), and found a good deal on '08 Rocos. Was wondering what the difference is between the TST and the RC World Cup versions?

This is for my Heckler, which I do a little of everything with -- trail riding, some jumping, and the occasional trip to Diablo. I'm about 215. Currently running an old 5th element, which is leaking oil. Have no experience with air shocks, but have read that coil shocks are plusher and more durable for drops, etc.

Also open to any other shock recommendations.

thanks.

the WC is available in 8.5x2.5, but you're right, they don't make it in a
2.25x7.875, which is what i need. Looks like I'm going with the TST. thanks.

both are nice i had the roco WC air on my peeler for a while and it was great as and FR shock because it had incredible bottom out control and really felt controlled when taking any big hit. the reason i got rid of it was because i wasn't really FRing the bike at all and wanted to find a little more traction with a coil shock (btw it worked) but the bike defiantly lose some of the big hit capability.

the TST version has a very wide range compression dampener to help it pedal better. actually to my surprise the WC pedaled ok on the big single pivot bike.
