“Set 8838, released in 1991, was the first motorcycle to have both front and rear suspension. It is a realistic looking off road motorcycle with a number of aesthetic features including a radiator and a rear fender. It features a steerable fork, a retractable kickstand, a... More chain driven V-2 engine, and full suspension with a trailing arm in the rear and downtubes in the front. Construction uses very few standard studs and is an early example of pinned construction with very few square angles.”

“The Shock Cycle from the Lego Technic series is a well-made model. From relatively few individual parts a beautiful motorcycle with many functions is created here. The fun of playing is unfortunately not as great as the fun of assembling, as the model is not particularly... More stable and breaks relatively quickly. Otherwise the Shock Cycle is a real eye-catcher and should not be missing from any collection. Altogether, there are four stars in the overall rating.”
