air shocks are not suitable for larger riders. Well i know i think my SID has a max weight of 170. They have great adjustability though, if i want a real stiff ride then i just put more air in and the opposite for a soft ride. Air shocks tend to be lighter and often more expensive

I was a coil guy until I tried a 5th element air shock.Its the best shock I've ever ridden.It's perfect for trail riding. If you wanna' huck it go coil.

AIr shocks are fine for jumps. Well, to a point. They make beefier air models but no matter what it doesnt have the beef of a coil. I have been doing 2-3 foot drops with my SID which is a very light air fork

I like the security of a coil-over shock. They're heavier though....
