TruVativ pedals | | Bottom Line: | i had to trade down to the 55 because the 66 was too much for my 66. i loved that fork's bottomless feel and the ability to adjust end of stroke compression, too. The 55 lacks the same point-and-shoot mentality of the 66, but is a better trade off for me because of the TST on the fly compression and preload adjustment and the ETA just kicks so much ass it's silly. It isn't nearly as plush, but i really don't care. It's just as tough under abusive flat landings, so i'm pretty stoked so far... We'll have to see if it's as reliable as the 66. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$600.00 | | Purchased At: | Cycletofitness.com | | Strengths: | Stiff chasis/crown, great adjustability and dampening with ETA and TST micro, Zoke smooth and plush feel, no break in period like other Zoke forks | | Weaknesses: | Could be a little taller, fugly looking stickers, made in Tawain, not Italy anymore (this is not terribly bad though), long term reliablity (but you have a 2yr warranty for that) | | Similar Products Used: | Zoke Z1 light, RS Pike, Fox Float | | Bike Setup: | 06' RFX w/all the AM/FR goodies | | Bottom Line: | Great fork! I like this even better than the good, very reliable Z1 light that it replaced. It is stronger, more versatile, and has a better dampening feel altogether. Even though the pre-08' TST AM forks have a bad track record with failed dampeners.
Feels like I can ride a bit of everything on this fork without any hesitations going up or down. Strongly recommend for the AM/FR's out there looking for a new fork for their 5.5-6.5" traveled bikes.
Would give it 5 chilis if it came with a hot "Marzocchi babe" on the ads to make it outstanding, otherwise a great fork. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
