I don’t know what your talking about. You post
is titled rear shocks, and you want to pay 700.
OP would like any and all input on shocks. I was in the same position price range until i saw those and I️ managed a couple more bucks. Sorry for giving you my input.

Bitubo rears have a pretty good rating.

As does mine. I may complain for a bit but I will pay 2 to 300 over my “budget “ to get something that will suit my needs. Tired of paying less for subpar parts

Few points I should touch on, I was unaware that the ohlins @600 were not adjustable. Definitely open to spending more, feedback on Progressive is 50/50 therefore I was shying away from them. Looks like i need to do more research. I do not wish to lower the bike any, the seat is going to drop me a bit as it is I believe, I'm wanting to go 13-14. Appreciate all the input and anything else will be consider prior to purchase.

I have 13.5” ODC shocks and really like them. Three way adjustable and remote reservoir.

Also in market for new suspension. I going to redo the front and the back. Looking at Revos or Ohlins. But definitely interested in the fox’s shocks! Anybody have personal experience with any of these brands ?

ODC? Can you clarify? I don't want piggyback, but I want adjustable...I can't justify 550 for bitubo if I can get adjustable ohlins or revo for 200 more...basically I'm completely ignorant to determining adjustable or not...rebound and dampening = fully adjustable ?
