I had a bike with a FutureShock. Absolutely hated it.

Not the best looker but the rider was of age and was enthusiastic about how it treated his oncoming hand arthritis.

I sold a BUNCH of Softride ones in the early 90s..better than the Girvin one in that the handlebar didn't rotate as it flexed.."suspend the rider, not the bike" or some such nonsense.

If you need to find the right angle for a fit that thing is fantastic, besides that well.

Rigid 26" Wicked. Get's ridden mostly by my wife when we do family rail trail rides. I took it out on some single track and man is it disconcerting when the bars drop out from under you, must be that lack of damping. I keep meaning to swat it out for the Salsa quill it replaced.
