from Jamul Date Reviewed: January 18, 2006 Strengths: Adjustability and a rebound control that works. The ETA is great on smooth climbs. Air and coil setup for adjustable sag. Weaknesses: I can't get the full travel(105mm) out of it. I'm only getting 3.75 in. of travel with 30% sag. Not too good on fast rocky DH runs. I changed the oil to a lighter weight and did get about 1/8 in. more travel(now up to 3.75in.). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $200.00 Similar Products Used: On this bike(SID 100 & Manitou Xvert air) Bike Setup: Tracer XT

from Andalucia, Spain Date Reviewed: June 10, 2005 Strengths: Perfect XC/Freeridelite fork. Bombproof, maintenance free (used guiding everyday and I've serviced them (needlessly) only once...) Does everything you want it to and has stacks left Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: Bothy Bikes, Aviemore, Scotland Similar Products Used: Tried lots of Clients bikes, nothing comes close to the plushness of Marzocchi.

from Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: April 20, 2005 Strengths: This is for the 105mm fork. Very smooth motion and the air adjustability is great (especially for a light rider like me). Haven't played much with the rebound. The ETA is handy and still gives you 30mm of travel. Soaks up a lot of nasty bumps. Weaknesses: None yet. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Judy C (came with the bike). Bike Setup: 01 Rockhopper FSR XC Pro, BETD link (fantastic), Panaracer Cinder tires, Thompson seatpost.

from SAN JOSE Date Reviewed: January 24, 2005 Strengths: good looks. Weaknesses: too much travel for an XC fork. too flexy for long travel XC. dampening too weak for 120mm. poor factory support. I got the 120mm, I don't like the fork. this fork might be OK for XC use, but it can not keep up on a long travel XC bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $275.00 Purchased At: www.Jensonusa.com Similar Products Used: forks that I have owned: RS mag 21, manitou EFC, RS judy DH(1996), girvin, judy XC, manitou six, Mx pro, Sherman firefly 150mm. Bike Setup: 2001 marin rock springs. it replaced a 2001 judy XC 100. I also tried it out on my 2004 titus supermoto.

from Calgary, Alberta, Canada Date Reviewed: August 16, 2004 Strengths: Smooths out the trails I ride perfectly. Handles small drops (3'>) easily. The lock-out feature is OK but I don't notice a lot of bobbing on hard climbs unlocked anyway. Compared to the cheap fork that came with my bike the MX Pro ETA is a huge leap in ride and handling. Use it for what it's meant for and you won't be disappointed. Fishcreek, Calgary, Powderface and Moose Mountain Look out are the type of trails and downhill I would limit this fork to. Weaknesses: None yet! 195lbs and I have not bottomed out yet. Again, use it for it's intended purpose. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Powderface (so far) Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $175.00 Purchased At: Bow Cycle Classifieds Similar Products Used: Cheap Zokes Sport & 2004 Judy TT Bike Setup: Raleigh Night Hawk, drivetrain XT, hubs and most everything else Deore. So far a solid entry level bike. I ride with about 50lbs on the air side. I have not played with the rebound yet since everything seems smooth to me.
