from levis,quebec,canada Date Reviewed: December 30, 2007 Strengths: this fork is ridiculously plush and whit a denser oil, it stays super sensitive and let me soak up easely 20 ft drops. the monster and super monster fork are also the burlyest suspension components i've seen that far. The incredible lenght of that fork also give the bike more clearance over the bottom bracket for asardous riding and it slackened the angles of the bike, like a 24in rear wheel would do. Weaknesses: it is god damn heavy and make the front end of the bike dive on mid jumps (i've been able to correct this by oppening the rebound up front and closing it a little on the rear). And caution!!!!!!, you will need a rock solid head tube to avoid breaking your frame whit that. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: mont st-anne Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $550.00 Purchased At: local shop Similar Products Used: bomber 05,06,07, manitou travis, boxxer team Bike Setup: norco a-line, fox shock, etc

from 2765 So Date Reviewed: November 22, 2004 Strengths: The toughest out there. Travel is a plus. Smooth travel through its twelve inches. The shock can save you in what would be a crash. Its height makes for a great head tube angle. Weaknesses: Just like all shocks it came with soft springs for a lighter rider. I weigh 230 pounds and can easily bottom any fork including this one. It will not flex so that is not a problem. I still need to buy a heavier spring. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $1100.00 Similar Products Used: RockShox boxxer, Manitou Sherman Bike Setup: Ellsworth Dare, Super Monster, Hadley hubs, Shimano XT cranks, Syncros handle bar and seatpost.

from Mammoth Lakes, Ca, USA Date Reviewed: August 29, 2003 Strengths: This shock has some major travel. It makes 10 foot drops seem like cake. It gave me so much confidence in my riding that I now hold the record for one of my local downhill trails. Weaknesses: Very espensive, and very heavy. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Bullet Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $455.00 Purchased At: Through my connections Similar Products Used: Nothing compares to this shock. Bike Setup: I took a Trek Liquid 30 and put a little work into it. I modified the rear shock to a 6-incher with a lockout (don't try this, it is very difficult and it can end up costing a lot of money), It made the 8 inches of travel fit much better with my bike. The whole set-up weighs about 41 lbs. And if you're wondering, I did trick it out with some of the lightest components on the market. If you feel like doing anything like this, make sure you don't use light-weight components that might take some stress when hitting the huge drops (I broke one of my cranks because of that).
