from Sydney, Australia Date Reviewed: May 11, 2005 Strengths: Super light- my fork out of the box weighed in at 6.77 pounds, with ti spring and uncut steerer. 40mm legs= stiffness Buttery plush, no stiction whatsoever. Flat crowns, so a low rideheight Weaknesses: The sheers size:- stiffness means that the fork deflects occassionally if you get off the back of the bike... Thin lowers- could be easy to damage in a crash? Fox Bushings continually feel worn and lose Initially feel very linear, but that changes when you're used to it. Brake mounting Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1200.00 Purchased At: BA Similar Products Used: Dorado, Boxxer, 888, Monster. Bike Setup: Yeti DH9... yo!
