I am not comparing. Just providing a link to a shock of a similar design. Not once did i recommend them for any application, but simply stated that I would be trying them on a street bike in the future. A street bike that had extremely low performance rear shocks to begin with.xb33bsa said:you gott be trollin or joking to compare them china air hammersticks to a foxair dirt bike racing shock ..they wereontop of the mx world for a few years.even hrc factory works mx bikes and every mfg but maico used them on their works bikes,bikes that cost 100's of thousands of dolars were using fox airs ! and they are buckrogers,moonshot saturn rocket motor cool any way they were for racing mx then and still are ,they are not even suited for the stree t bike with 4" of rear wheel travel.mr dunev i sgetting his hl500 together and what the fuck does that have to do with air wasting "made of type of metalstrong" crap from china ?

It has FM and the interface is simple... Take it to races and listen to simulcast or music when you want.Drey6 said:Zunes ARE rad.
