Most of the farkles and upgrades I have considered and purchased are pretty straight forward. However, I was hoping someone could qualify for me what the advantage is with the Progressive rear shock. From the other threads I have read, it seems clear that everyone thinks it is a big improvement. Spud said it was considerably better on road and off. This is good, but can you guys who have installed this upgrade let me know how it is better? Is this just generally more comfortable? Does it allow for tighter cornering? More stability at speed? Something else?

I’m trying to decide if I want to buy this or not. These days I’m 200 lbs and am using the RX3 about 40% on gravel roads and 60% on pavement. I ride rather conservatively.

Thanks in advance.
