Really pleased with the performance of this shock. Now that the shock has been broken in, the ride feels so much more plush and comfortable. I bought the one with the threaded adjuster and it's not too difficult to turn the preload ring. I had reached out to the guys at EPM to ask if going for Wilbers was worth the extra money but they said that YSS is the best bang for the buck. I definitely agree with them, the YSS shock is legit.
