If you check out the [teardown](https://nsmb.com/articles/dissecting-fox-dyad-pull-shock/) piece I did with SuspensionWerx one of the best features of the DYAD - in my opinion - is how robustly the shock is designed.
Between the construction of the air cans and steel shaft all that should ever need to be replaced are seals and oil (wear parts) which makes the shock a great option for long term ownership contrasted against regular air shocks where shaft, body and air can wear are all fairly common over the long term without a regimented maintenance schedule.
It's really too bad Cannondale has moved away from the DYAD pull-shock a move they definitely made to make it easier to sell bikes and/or to lower costs not for performance benefits.
