The way I see it, it can't be any worse than the stock one in terms of quality/longevity. The stock shocks dual rate spring made the rear sit lower than I liked and made the bike handle odd (to me at least) over bumps/dips, and a lack of preload adjustment did not help.

I also like the gas charge port, meaning I can tailor the shock to my liking as well with the same pump I will have to carry for the Tubliss inner bladder.
It has to be better than stock. I think I just wore it out from the rough trails out at the Spillway. I don't exactly take it easy on the rough stuff. If it weren't for the shake reduction setting on my camera the videos I shot would be a big blur.
