There are many different types of rear shock, and the most common are made by Fox, Rockshox and Ohlins. The most common type of shock is an aircan shock, although some mountain bikes use coil shocks.

Setting the sag on the shock is the most important setting you should do on any suspension. It sets the air pressure inside which is what absorbs impact.
