Compared to the RST I replaced, the XC30 is phenomenal. Compared to the Fox I tested on a Trek Remedy, it's ok. Bottom line, it's good for entry-level stuff. I like it, I'm not a very hardcore rider/I don't weight a lot so it does the job for me very well. It's got a lockout with an overload valve and preload/rebound adjustment. Bang for buck it's pretty good. Goes for about $150 on Amazon. And it comes with a sticker
The proper platform pedals are a set of alloy Diamondbacks I got from a trash frame my friend gave me. They grip well but they're not the toughest. I've already busted one of the little grip studs out of them on a rock.
