Date Reviewed: April 23, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | National | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | South Mountain Cycles | | Strengths: | This fork is really stiff and plush. Looks cool too! 90 degree travel adjust is awesome. | | Weaknesses: | Cost is high, but you tend to get what you pay for in my opinion. A quick release axle like the lyric and totem have would be great. | | Similar Products Used: | Nothing too similar, but I had a manitou minute 1 before this and before that I had a really old marz. bomber. | | Bike Setup: | Santa Cruz heckler mostly raceface stuff and x0 parts. Hadley and king hubs with mavic 823 and 819 rims. 5th element rear shock for now. | | Bottom Line: | I love this fork. I bought it to make my bike better for the fast downhill sections and the small drops that I wanted to ride, but it even seems to have helped with my climbing. I love the 90 degree travel adjustment lever. Brilliant! I like the way the 36 mm stanchions look too. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$460.00 | | Purchased At: | EP form | | Strengths: | Felt super smooth for the first few rides,extremely stiff and responsive, very plush at high speed small bump chatter | | Weaknesses: | not exactly sure if it came broken and I did not notice at first but after one hard day in moab it has a serious topping out problem. very loud "ping" noise when riding in seated position and as soon as I leave the ground for a drop. Also feels to a little to soft in the final part of its travel. dumps a little too easy | | Similar Products Used: | nixon. worked solid for 2 seasons. rode it real hard, took 6 foot drops with ease, but deffinetly not the same overall plush ride. | | Bike Setup: | giant ac2 w/ dhx air 5,fox 36r,juicy sevens, full xt, e-13 dual ring chainguide(works awesome), rhynolite rims, thomson post | | Bottom Line: | sending the fork in because all the ones ive ridden that work well feel so good. But does suck that after a few decent rides and one hard ride that I have to send it back. Can't wait to feel what this fork was intended to ride like. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$800.00 | | Purchased At: | speedgoat | | Strengths: | Plush travel, Stiff, improvement in travel adjustments | | Weaknesses: | The through axle's hex nut is easy to round off when trying to take it out . way too small a hole and the metal is too soft | | Similar Products Used: | 2004 fox talas | | Bike Setup: | Ellsworth Moment with Dhx coil. Mavic 823s Hope Pro II hubs , juicy 7 , thomsons , CK steel , blah blah blah | | Bottom Line: | It's a pretty good fork for riding aggressive. But rounding up the hex hole of the through axle pissed me off . I am happy with my purchase though . Speedgoat threw in a Chris King Headset , what a good deal ! added 30 bucks and they upgraded me to a steel version . With the 36 it Makes my bike feel like its really bomb proof. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
