After six years of abuse my rear shock needs replaceing. It is a DT Swiss SSDL 210 and I have no complaints about it whatsoever. It’s had regular simple overhauls by myself but that is all. After all this time of riding in Welsh hills and mud though the anodising has gone and the thing is on its last legs.

I’m looking to replace it. As far as I know an upgrade is not needed, the thing just works, brilliantly. However I’m open to new ideas- is there anything better at a similar price point that I should consider before clicking ‘buy’ for the USA sourced item, at approx £90:00?

I’m 106kg riding weight. Ride red and black Welsh trail centers and Brecon Beacons, Snowdonia, Alps XC etc. I love filthy weather and big long dirty wet rides.
