What riders say:

Hi Craig,

I had my 5th Element rebuilt earlier in the year. I have been meaning
to email you to let you know how pleased I am with it.

Holy crap! Compared to the original 5th Element, the rebuilt shock is
super plush, super responsive. I've been riding Santa Cruz v10s for
about 4 years with 5th Elements, and the difference between the shocks
is amazing. The v10 is truly a different bike now.

I raced the bike all season, and never, not once, did I bottom out the
shock. Yes, the shock has that peculiar ding-ding sound, but I'm
guessing that's the blow-off. But through drops, rock gardens, and a
few days in Whistler, the shock was incredible. No problems, either.
Set it and forget it.

I run Fox DHX 5.0 on my other freeride/DH bikes, and compared to the
Avalance-rebuilt 5th Element, the Fox feels stiff and unresponsive. I
like the Fox, but I really like the Avi-built 5th.

I have one more 5th Element, and next season, I plan to send it in to
get rebuilt. I also may send in my 888 for a rebuild.

And if I'm ever looking to buy a new shock/fork, I'll definitely give
Avalanche a serious look.

Thanks for making a great product!

Craig,

I got out on the trails this weekend with my newly rebuilt 5th 3 way and it
feels like a whole new bike. Just wanted to say thanks and let you know I
plan on replacing this with a cubbie sometime next season as I'm sure its
going to feel even better.

Thanks!
