from Southern OK / North Texas Date Reviewed: September 18, 2005 Strengths: Plush, smooth, rugged, soaks up rocks, holes, trenches, etc like a sponge. A sponge I say. Awesome fork period. Considering its not a 600 buck fork it it is more awesome. Weaknesses: um, no. well, the fork was shipped with too much oil in both legs, apparently a common problem a year ago that is easily corrected when you change it the first time (25 hrs use). and how could I forget, the manual sux. It is 3/4 inch thick and tells you nothing. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $300.00 Purchased At: jensonusa Similar Products Used: Judy junk that weighed a ton and doubled as a pogo stick. Bike Setup: Trek 4500 with many upgrades.

from San Juan Capistrano, CA, USA Date Reviewed: April 28, 2005 Strengths: I own 3 of these forks which are on alll 3 of my Kona Dawg bikes. They are all 2004 120mm ETA models and I LOVE them. For the price, I highly recommend them. Perfect for aggressive XC and can handle almost anything that gets in its way (except cars... LOL). They are strong and light with adjustablility. Lower the front to 4" for climbing or extend it out to 5" for downhill. Go out and buy one before the prices go up. Universalcylces.com were closing out the 2004 models for only $199. Of course, I jumped on it and purchased 3 for under $600. One Fox Talas will run you over $600. Hummm, what is a better deal on a fork that I can matchup with a Talas? 3 is better than 1. Marzocchi might be a stock or product you might want to invest in. Just read alll the reviews and most people agree. Happy trail riding! Weaknesses: NONE Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Joplin Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $199.00 Purchased At: Universal Cycles Similar Products Used: Fox Bike Setup: 3 Kona Dawgs all with Marzocchi MX Comp 120mm, King Headsets, Raceface components, Sun Rhino Lite rims, XT drivetrain, Panaracer Fire XC tires.

from Chester, United Kingdom Date Reviewed: April 13, 2005 Strengths: None as of yet, very nice fork and extremely comfy Weaknesses: I previously owned a marzocchi bomber Z1 fork which i'd owned for at least 4 years. I was used to the ease of adjustment with the dials on the top of those forks. This fork is adjusted via an air pump. So if you want to adjust it out on a trail you'll have to carry a pump!

from Orlando Date Reviewed: March 14, 2005 Strengths: Light, good handling fork. Holds air well. I rarely need to add it. I've taken it off drops over 6 feet without any problems. Came with a free Cane Creek bottom bracket. Weaknesses: The ETA knob. It seems to work its way forward and the next thing you know your fork is locked down and you have no travel. The ride goes from good to suck real quick on descents. I took the nob off and I like the fork much better. I know, why buy the ETA? Well for the money It seemed like a good idea at the time. One other weakness is the internal rebound adjustment, not very easy to access.
