What ATVs are they available for, and how well do they work?

Thanks,
Phil.

they're available for all the high performance atvs, and probably a few others. i can't say how well they work on a quad, but i do have one on my mountain bike. the only problem i have on my bike is that u have to pump up the shock with air after every hard ride. they r fairly new, and expensive, so until mags start testing them, i doubt many people will be buying them.

Dito what Cro said about the mountain bike. Heaven forbid I go on a tour and forget my pump! The shock pressure goes down enough that in a couple days, it is unrideable. Lucky it has a lockout.

They are going to have to prove to me that this thing is INCERDIBLE and BULLETPROOF, before I will even consider buying one.

What ever happened to the ol single speed bikes of the past? They all have multiple speeds and shocks now.

well, i have a few single speed bikes, my BMX bikes. it's really nice to have gears when ur trying to ride up the side of mammoth mountain. as for the shocks, i would love to try a pair, but not at the expense of my bank account going empty. i doubt that the quad shocks will have a lockout, but they must have improved the seals or something so that the air stays in.
