from Des Moines, Iowa, USA Date Reviewed: November 30, 2003 Strengths: 108mm travel, Strength, great on the trails. I took it to colorado and it preformed flawlessley. Weaknesses: The U-Turn broke after about 2 months of riding on it. I would have it set to 108mm of travel and when i would go off a drop it would drop down, sometimes all the way to 80mm. Other than that though, no problems at all.

from Scottsdale, AZ Date Reviewed: September 17, 2003 Strengths: Cost - cheap ! Good fork on a budget. 4" travel, Color - White matches my Tracer. Reliable. Have had for 10 months, has about 800 trail miles on it. Had it checked out after muddy weekend in Durango and it had no problems. The shop put heavier oil in (7wt) - and I lowered the psi which seems to have improved performance. Weaknesses: Little flexy. Buddies claim they can see fork deflection as I ride. Rebound knob doesn't work after getting it serviced by local shop. Fair amount of feedback (aka: vibration)thru the headset, handlebars. Like I said, seems to run better with lower psi. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Elden Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $159.00 Purchased At: Supergo Similar Products Used: Rock Shox Judy SL 100, Cannondale Headshock (original), Specialized Future Shock (1990) Bike Setup: Intense Tracer, Avid Mech Disc Brakes, Mavic 223 Wheelset w/ Stans tubeless, XT Group, Sram X.0 Derailluer with 7.0 Shifters, SPD 737 (they wont die) pedals.
