Favorite Trail:
Somewhere in the Vienna Woods
Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$220.00
Purchased At:
Cycle Circle
Strengths:
Stiff ride, takes a pounding, but good for long hauls, too
Weaknesses:
Haven't found any yet
Similar Products Used:
SR Suntour
Bike Setup:
Self-built setup (alu trekking frame, XT & Ritchey Pro components)
Bottom Line:
For those wanting a 28-inch/700c/29er mountain bike, there's not a lot of choice in forks (at least in Europe). The Europa is the fork to go with. It might not be good for downhill racing, but if you want to do that, get a proper 26-inch DH bike. For single track, fire trails, and more-than-just-weekend-warrior stuff, not to mention long-distance road/trail combinations, the Europa is a solid choice.
