After working over the winter I had a little cash and I was looking to make one upgrade to my bicycle. As it is I love this bike to bits:love: the only part I was not completely satisified with was the shock. I looked into available options and I really did not want go through the hassle of buying the dhx link and installing it (plus the fact that I could not afford the dhx+link). Anyhoo I really liked the concept behind the roco. I am not much of a fan of platform shocks and especially with the DW-Link taking care of the pedaling aspect a fully active shock seemed to be the perfect match. Plus the fact that the design is similiar to that of moto suspension(which I am quite a fan of). So after endless research I was able to gather the following facts which greatly influenced my purchase-
-Fits with the 05 link (must remove compression adjuster, no biggie)
-Price $309 without spring or bushing (old 5th spring fit)
-No need for revavle-I was not positive on this before but upon install I can tell it does not need a revalve, just the correct spring weight, air pressure, and rebound settings
-Plus its a Marzocchi-hopefully reliable, very plush, purty, and user servicable(not quite sure if that user needs a lot of suspension knowledge or not, I am not gonna be tearing it down any time soon though)
Anyhoo after I wrestled it on the bike it feels amazing, very supple at the begginning, fast rebound in the begginning stroke for stutter bumps then when you get farther in the travel the rebounds slows down a bit(drops/jumps).
If ya got anjy more questions just ask and Ill try to answer as i may have forgot to type some info.
Anyhoo for the people who did not read any of the stuff I typed here's the pics-
