Strengths:
Plush, stiff enough for me and easy to set up.
Weaknesses:
Not yet discovered.
Similar Products Used:
Pike Air, Manitou Minute
Bike Setup:
light freeride bike with Evolver ISX and Formula the One
Bottom Line:
This is the version WITHOUT Mission Control. It only has a simple turn-knob for compression damping. It works.
So the setup is really easy, I often change the compression on a ride.
I weigh 200lbs and have the "firm" spring installed, it is just perfect. No bottoimng out, no harshness.
I cant anything against this fork. It is so easy and plush to ride, and I dont have any troubles so far.
There is a little play in the bushings on the right side from the beginning. If the play increases I will let them change the bushings. So what.
Great fork - works!

Bottom Line:
Smits, i have a 2007 Domain 302 U-turn (UT), and the crackin noise you refer comes from the UT, i noticed that sometimes if dont extend the UT all the way (115mm) down or all the way up (160mm) the UT makes a crackin noise in the inside, and you can hear the sound reflecting on the crown, try to move your UT as much as you can to the top, or to the bottom, and check if the noise stops, it took me a while to figure that out, but at least in my case, the noise always comes from the UT. To complement, i would like to let you guys know that it is not at all mid-travel points that the UT will make noises, at 140mm, for exemple, it wont make any noise, but at 150mm or 135mm it will, so make some tests with your UT and figure it out.

Strengths:
u-turn full travel available instead of 14omm talas 36... nice compression and rebound settings maxle!
Weaknesses:
the fork started to produce a cracking sound in the area around the crown. don't know what it is... its getting worse.. especially when compressing the fork a little bit by hand or when riding fast rocky sections. hope it can be fixed or somebdy knows how to deal with this problem?
Similar Products Used:
36 talas rc2 06, pike team, vanilla 32, Z1..
Bike Setup:
specialized enduro pro 06.. dhx air, dt swiss wheels.
Bottom Line:
nice fork for the trail/enduro/allmountain/freeride light rider. stiff, but not as stiff as a 36. but way smoother than the stiction suffering and not fully travel returning 36 talas.
