Air Shock

Unique build !!!

I would like to learn more about the air shock that you installed. Make ? Model ? Effectiveness ?

my cruzbike build (kit+v2/k+my parts)

It's an Ario 3.2 165mm/38mm. It's an entry level rear shock, but it is much better than the spring shock that came with the frame in my opinion, has a 275psi max air, so it can be real stiff, with manual lock-out, and has rebound adjustments.

Just built the bike and testing it, so don't know how the shock will be, but it's already definately better than the stock spring, and more than 1/2 as light.

here's some info:
