from Melbourne Date Reviewed: March 29, 2008 Strengths: Super smooth, very little lateral flex, good range of adjustment. Travel adjustment is really a good feature. Weaknesses: Travel adjustment knob is had to turn (on mine at least), forks must be turned over to return to 150mm travel mode if the forks are in short travel mode. (okay my forks are stuffed, note to self: stop being cheap ass and get a service) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The Streets Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $200.00 Purchased At: eBay Similar Products Used: Marzocchi DJ IIIs', SRs', Drop offs' Bike Setup: Street Weapon

from Boulder, CO, USA Date Reviewed: March 10, 2007 Strengths: !Everything! this is one of my favorite forks ever. It feels so nice to do a jump and know that a excellent fork is on your bike. It does not jar you if you mess up when going of a 3 foot drop and it works excellently if you go of a 7 foot drop. This is a very confidence inspiring fork and it would be very dumb of you to not get it because it will not let you down. This fork has been used on a KHS that's chainstay broke and on a Azonic steelhead. See my review of the Azonic Steelhead at: http://mtbr.com/reviews/Freeride_Hardtail/product_127239.shtml. The sherman is one of the best forks out there. Weaknesses: !None At All! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Keystone Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $280.00 Purchased At: forgot Bike Setup: Azonic Steelhead, Easton EA50 handlebars, ZUZU pedals, Truvativ Hussefelt cranks, Maxxis Holyroller, Maxxis BlingBling, singlespeed(works well with a Sram X9), pig headset

from Rjngwood, NJ Date Reviewed: December 22, 2006 Strengths: Well made, super stiff, best dampening on the market, full compression and rebound adjusability, strong, reliable, looks great (if that matters), EASY to use 20mm axle design, designed and manufactured in the USA, only requires a brake adapter if using 8" rotors, decent tech support... Weaknesses: Well, the even though bottoming is never harsh, the springs feel too soft and there's no way to adjust preload. Springs on this fork (considering it's intended usage) should be set up for a bit heavier rider, since most of us enjoy hucking and also have an additional 10 lbs of armor, full face helmets, etc.........and two minor problems that showed up after using the fork for about a month; the left leg makes a clicking sound (my Jumper does this too) and the travel adjust requires turning it 2-3 times before it ever works. Neither bother me, since the clicking hasn't affected the dampening or created any other problems and I never use the "Rapid Travel II" feature, even when climbing because it messes up my geometry too much. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The Jack Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $289.00 Purchased At: JensonUSA.com Similar Products Used: About a dozen different Marzo freeride and downhill forks, Rock Shox Psylo XC, Sherman Jumper, and now this one... Bike Setup: SC Bullit - 6" travel frame, with 8" Hayes, Sun Ringle' wheelset, Fox RC, XT, Hussefelts, etc........basic freeride set-up.

from St. Albert Date Reviewed: December 15, 2006 Strengths: Plush, seemed stiff enough to me. The adjustability is nice, especially if you need to pedal up the hill, dropping the travel to 110 helps the pedal effeciency and geometry.

Ability to switch from 110 to 150 is very convenient. Weaknesses: Too soft is it's down fall, get firm or even xfirm springs and you're set.
