Date Reviewed: June 17, 2008 | | Favorite Trail: | Nitra Zobor | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | came on a bike | | Strengths: | nice stiffness, smooth, looks | | Weaknesses: | none yet | | Bike Setup: | freeride | | Bottom Line: | I have the long version 180mm of travel, 1.5 steer tube. Very stiff, feels good and safe, eats all from small rocks to big bumps. Uses full travel, linear all the way, went never to bottom thou (no big jumps yet)even i am 85kg. Nice fonts, the colour matches the bike (Norco Shore 3). My guess that it suites heavier bikes 17kg and more. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: November 12, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | yes | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | Simple
1.5 steer tube is noticeably stiffer than 1-1/8"
Cheap (relatively speaking)
Steel stanchions so I can beat the crap out of it | | Weaknesses: | Ummm....it's a Rockshox | | Similar Products Used: | about everything | | Bike Setup: | Bottlerocket | | Bottom Line: | The fork is awesome. I was incredibly surprised at how good it is after being asked to test this fork out. I figured being a Rockshox that it wouldn't take too long to f' it up. I was wrong!
This fork is so simple that there's nothing to break except the seals, which has not happened yet.
I've had two Totems already, those things suck. Save your money and buy this fork or the Domain 318. The steel stanchions can't be beat for the type of riding you'll probably be using it for. I never worry about crashing and damaging stanchions anymore. With the 1.5 steer tube, I'm not worried about the fork breaking either.
I had to replace the spring cause it was too soft. A firm spring feels perfect for me (190 lbs).
As the previous reviewer mentioned, remove your rebound knob before it removes itself. When will the fork mfgr's realize that is the most vulnerable spot on a fork?
Seriously, this thing feels good as new after some pretty good abuse last season, and I haven't done any work to it other than swap the spring.
Excellent value for serious riders. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: November 11, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | Hercules downhill | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | came on bike | | Strengths: | thought as hell, looks, U-Turn | | Weaknesses: | rebound knob falls easily, a little to the heavy side | | Bottom Line: | great fork, mine is the U-turn model, so its the 115-160mm...some will think the rebound is a little too slow, but i found it to be preety good....although the rebound is the only adjustabiliti on the fork (accept for the travel), i never felt in need of adjusting the preload or compression damping, it seems to be soft at first, but the higher the drops were, the better it felt, yet retaining small bumps, U-Turn is simply a life saver, easy and makes your Freeride bik feels like a XC bike for climbing, the only advice i give is to immediatly remove the rebound knob and keep it with you....great fork! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
