$480.00 | | Purchased At: | local bikeshop (ironhorse dealer) | | Strengths: | the boxxer is a world renounced fork, it has great durability, is smooth, light and very plush. it eats pebbles for breakfast and feasts on big drops (i mean something like 3-4m high). although the lowest model in the boxxer series, it is definitely worth getting for its performance and great value! forget the worldcup and team; go 'race' | | Weaknesses: | rebound adjustments can do with definitive markings (ie clicks), put aside that everything else works fine!!! | | Similar Products Used: | marzocchi super-t pro, boxxer race '05 | | Bike Setup: | ironhorse yakuza kumicho 07's, rockshox vivid 5.1, e-13, shimano drivetrain and a lot of truvativ stuff on board. | | Bottom Line: | great value for performance, light and durable. GET ONE

$475.00 | | Purchased At: | online | | Strengths: | Super Plush, light, good damping rebound and compression. Easy to use Maxle. | | Weaknesses: | Stupid specific Boxxer Disc adapter. | | Similar Products Used: | Super T, Jr. T, White Bros 180 UD fork. | | Bike Setup: | Schwinn straight 8 | | Bottom Line: | What a surprise. I was dead set on an 888 or another White Brothers. But for $475, I had to give the Boxxer a try. Especially with my recent good experience with the Pike. Nice surprise. The feel is different from the Super T but not better OR worse. Just different. I don't know if it's the price or this is a great fork overall but I definitely have to keep Boxxers on my list of future replacement forks. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$600.00 | | Strengths: | External Compression and Rebound adjust, smooth and feel solid | | Weaknesses: | None as yet | | Similar Products Used: | Marzocchi Super T & 888's | | Bike Setup: | Iron Horse Sunday Team with custom bling... Funn, E-13, Syncros.... | | Bottom Line: | Not sure about the post below, this person must have got earlier model forks cos I have the 07 model which has external rebound on the same side as compression but the adjust is at the bottom and yes it is a bit of a pain it's on the bottom but no biggie. The fork tracks well and feels solid which helps inspire confidence, has a Funn direct mount stem which also helps the 'feel', however this may also be down to the kick ass frame. For the money ya cant go wrong as they are a better fork than many others that cost a lot more. This fork has plenty of adjustment without getting bogged down with settings. GO RIDE! Go get the 07's now. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$562.00 | | Purchased At: | Tay Junction | | Strengths: | Great handling, light weight, plenty of travel and Lots of mud clearence. u could probably squeeze 26" by 2.7-3.0" tires infront. cheap price for a double crown. | | Weaknesses: | No external rebound adjust and the only way 2 adjust it is to change the inner springs. | | Similar Products Used: | Marzocchi Drop off Tripple(2005, 170mm), Marzocchi DJ 3. | | Bike Setup: | Frame: Kona Stinky 2007, 7" rear travel.
Fork: RockShox boxxer race.
Shox: Fax Van R (Fox DHX 3.0)
hayes Nine 8" disks.
Stem,Hndlbr,seatpst,crnks: FSA | | Bottom Line: | The Boxxer Race is one hell of a nice fork. It handles nicely without too much rebound. the boxxer race is also lighter than most double crowns and doesnt cost as much as a 888 or Boxxer wc.Excelent for DH, alright for jumps, and 4x. It relly sucks on XC trails (i dont ride XC so whos cares) and is a lil soft on the road. Bassically this fork only suits DH, and freeriders. Its alright for jumps and 4x, and is HORRIBLE for climbs, long distant pedaling, and road. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
