from finland Date Reviewed: September 19, 2004 Strengths: this is for the air 105mm version. stiff, adjustable, price, plush, when set up right hard to bottom ewen with almost zero pressures. really easy to service Weaknesses: not the best mountings for v-brakes, clearly made for use with disc brakes. could be lighter, although stiffness justifies the weight. internal rebound adjustment is a bit hard to do Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: mt-bike Similar Products Used: RS sid '98, cheap RST, manitou minute 3 Bike Setup: KHS comp '96, some upgrades

from Alameda, CA Date Reviewed: September 6, 2004 Strengths: zero maintenance except for oil changes once or twice a year. no leak, no break down, no hassles. very plush, was tracking extremely well until the pilot bushings started to wear but after 2 years, what do you expect, and even then the performance is better than most of the forks around Weaknesses: weight and the fact that rebuilding the fork is an expensive proposition ( about $100) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $250.00 Purchased At: pricepoint Similar Products Used: fox racing 100 float Bike Setup: santa cruz superlight

from Netherlands Date Reviewed: November 9, 2003 Strengths: I have the air model with 105mm of travel. Really, really smooth - handles both small vibrations and heavy hits. Gives you excellent control when going downhill and in turns without feeling "squishy". I usually ride in the city and this fork makes it sooooo much more comfortable. I hardly even notice a bump when riding off a curb. When the road is busted up from construction work I hardly even slow down, much less get off the bike. Why bother? ;-) A great time saver! Weaknesses: Not a good fork for climbing, absorbs too much of your pedaling power. Once I hit a bump while climbing just as the fork was rebounding from a pedaling stroke - nearly flipped the whole bike over backwards... Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $235.00 Purchased At: www.bike2build.nl Similar Products Used: several RST forks - all junk... Rock Shox Judy Bike Setup: Kyoso K7000 alu frame, full LX, Vuelta Airline wheels

from Baguio City Date Reviewed: October 26, 2003 Strengths: Plushy and nice travel especially if you know the right air combination you will load. You can vary the type of travel according to the air loading you put into the dual air-tight chambers. Very sturyd fork design and movements. Built not only for Cross Country, but for Aggressive Cross Country and competion use. Weaknesses: I'm using the non-ETA type so The only thing the is really weak for all air type is the locking during uphill climb. Its really hard to conquer a hill is the fork is so plushy. The main remedy is to pump air back, which in return makes me have to carry the fork's heavy air pump (It needs another separate high pressure air pump other than the one utilized for tire tubes). the air type absorbs and vibration from the ground and dampens it throughout the system.
