Pros:
weight! only 209gms, its the lightest shock on the market. the external "on the fly" compression and rebound dials, are rarely used once the shock is set, but are sweet none the less. the RCA button is sweet, i like it better than a full lockout because if you forget or dont have time to turn the shock back on, you have a slight bit of give from the rear shock to keep you in check. its servicability was a big selling point for me, but now that i have owned the shock for a while, i will say that the selling point is that i have never had to service it. im not exactly nice to it either, i ride my bike the way its supposed to be ridden... hard!!
Cons:
price, not that its not worth $350, but hey $350 is $350!
Time Used:

this shock is awesome! when pumped to proper psi, the shock has a way of keeping its self stiff, almost like it were in a lockout stage until you hit a bump, when its compressed farther than about .5 inches, it breaks into a smooth plush compression followed by an equally noticable rebound. its something you really need to experience to understand.

Pros:
Light weight, ability to adjust rebound and dampening, semi-lockout, rebuild yourself for $12 and 30 minutes.
Cons:
I've found no faults with this shock yet. I've been riding it for over a year now and all I have to do is add a little air about once a month. Some people complain because it's not a true lockout, but I like the fact that if I'm climbing with the shock in the semi-lockout mode and hit a huge bump it will suck up some of the hit.

This is the best shock I've ever seen. The guys at Cane Creek are amazing. There customer service rocks. This shock bolted right up with no problems and gave my bike 1 1/2 inches more travel. The ride is very plush and the semi-lockout works great. You can really feel on the long climbs. If you want a shock with lots of adjustability and easy to rebuild then buy this shock.
