Date Reviewed: May 31, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Price Paid: |
$425.00 | | Purchased At: | SPEEDGOAT.com | | Strengths: | - Very Plush
- Super stiff for a single crown
- 20mm quick release axle
- Very adjustable
- Cheap
- Lockout on the fly | | Weaknesses: | - A little heavy
- It's quite a tall fork making climbing a little awkward | | Similar Products Used: | Marzocchi All Mountain SL | | Bike Setup: | 2006 Transition Preston | | Bottom Line: | This may not be THE best single crown freeride fork available, but for the price it can't be beat. This fork just eats up everything I throw at it and I can be a pretty sloppy rider. It did take a few rides to get er dialed in to my liking, I found that a really slow rebound and low preload work best for me. Climbing can be a little awkward at times because the fork is so tall and quite heavy for a single crown fork, but if you've got a long climb up a fire road you can lock out the fork on the fly which is nice. It seems to be best suited for trails with lots of roots and small-medium sized drops and jumps.
As far as the TST knob moving easily, yes it does, but I have never noticed it being accidentally moved to another setting. I have heard people talking about the new quick release system coming loose but it has never happened to me, you just have to make sure when tightening it clicks in properly.
If your looking for a cheap light-duty freeride single crown fork this should be at the top of your list. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$600.00 | | Purchased At: | local shop | | Strengths: | very smooth, really like the new quick release axle. for the price in my opinion the best fork out there | | Weaknesses: | the only things i can say arent the greatest arethat the disc mount only fits 6 inch disc brakes (unless there is a special adapter made specifically for this fork) and the tst when it is unlocked, it is in a really easy position to be hit into lock, probably not good for the fork to land a 10 foot drop with it locked | | Similar Products Used: | manitou stance, manitou sherman, marzocchi 55 | | Bike Setup: | completely tricked out jackal | | Bottom Line: | well i have only been riding this fork for a few weeks, but it is the smoothest fork ive ever tried, tst has 5 different selections, not just lock and unlock, and it is a great product for the price. only gets 4 chilis overall though because of the weaknesses above | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: February 25, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | feels like a mini-66 with a little less adjustability. reasonable weight for the price. | | Weaknesses: | the tst2 control looks easy to accidentally turn on. I wish it was more difficult to turn because I won't ever use it. Also I have been told there is no blow off so if you land a drop with it on you could damage your internals (both yours and your forks) | | Similar Products Used: | totem, nixon, fox36, 66, revelation | | Bike Setup: | reignx | | Bottom Line: | What unreal value out of this fork. Having used most of the high end single crowns (and been disappointed), this was refreshing.
the first few inches are soft, then ramps up well. The height for ramp up is adjustable with the air preload. I have 20psi in the left leg for preload which feels balanced for the rear end of the bike.
6lbs is a full pound heavier than the fox36, but at the price you could afford to buy this fork and a lighter wheelset for the same cost as the fox! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
