[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 1406877, member: 21394"] There are limits on the shock travel, and the lack of a shock tends to limit performance. It's unlikely anything else was harmed, however if you haven't done maintenance or rebuilding of the front forks, it may be time depending on miles. Even if you just change the oil and consider a spring upgrade, the front forks will do much better, although the 2018 has pretty good springs. What surprises me, is you are on a 2018, and it seems the rear shock failure is very premature. The Gen 4 A shocks are pretty robust. I would just replace it, and look for warranty coverage. [/QUOTE]
