    Favorite Trail:Pontiac
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $405.00
    Purchased At:Ebay
    Strengths:Lightweight, nice candy red color.
    Weaknesses:Clicking sound inherent to the absolute platform seal
    Similar Products Used:Fox RL 80mm
    Bike Setup:Giant NRS C2
    Bottom Line:Have no complain so far except for that annoying clicking sound when it reaches it peak cycle. Tech support says it does not affect performance and they trying to fix the problem but it is just simply annoying. Good thing I have a obnoxiously load Hope Pro 2 hub to keep my mind off this clicking sound.

    Favorite Trail:xc
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $400.00
    Purchased At:Bagus Bike Jakarta BSD
    Strengths:great feel, versatility
    Weaknesses:none so far
    Similar Products Used:specialized
    Bike Setup:flux turnes, ringle headset, xtr 2008 hydraulic brakes, thomson stem, sp, xtr rear derailleurm xt for front, xt crankset, 990 cassette xtr, crossmax rim, both back & front tires with maxxisw ignitor, 1.9 ignitor tubeless
    Bottom Line:I haven't owned a list of fork, so it's hard to compare performance. I ride technicaly trail in Jalur Pipa Gas track near Jakarta with a different terain. The MRD is perfect for my flux. I 've had this fork for about 3 week more than ten times and I ride this track to climb, downhill and twisted single track- in a dust and mud in rainy day and it's been 100% reliable. I'm very impresed with MRD 7
