a Downhiller Date Reviewed: January 11, 2013 Strengths: super plush, look very good, second hand ones can be bought very cheap now, seals and wipers can be bought easily (although i havent tone so(yet)).... all adjustmens and air preload are very effective. its sensitive and works. Weaknesses: nothing apart from it took a while for me to understand what the compression adjustment did (at first it seemed like it did nothing)... i put it as far in the '+' direction as i could and it seems like the fork completly stops 70% of the way through the travel if i REALLY bottom out. so its more like a bottom out resistance lol.dont care tho, its awsome Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: anything rough and fast Duration Product Used: me: 1 year. origional owner:7 years Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: my friend

from Portland, Oregon, USA Date Reviewed: May 5, 2009 Strengths: The best damn fork available in 2005, period. This is clearly a winner in the DH/FR category. Dedicated 20mm thru-axle with two clamp down bolts per leg drop-out, think about it..... Weaknesses: Describe for me what weakness is defined as please, because this fork represents nothing of the such, near as I can tell for the last 4 years. If cost is a weakness of said product, then weak forks structurally should be cheap.

from NC Date Reviewed: August 29, 2006 Strengths: Looks! Single-Crown - can do anything a 7" monster t can only better and with more adjustability. Progressive travel - first couple of inches are easy and smooth and as you progressively use more travel it gets much stiffer. Adjustments - you can tune 100% of the travel of this fork to your liking. Axle to Crown height - some complain about this but I bought this instead of an 06 because I really like the way it slackens the geometry of my frame. Steering radius - no double crown = better steering. Did I mention single crown? - makes your double crown friends look like p*ssy's! Weaknesses: None that I have discovered. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: sugar Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $325.00 Purchased At: used Similar Products Used: 2003 Marzocchi Jr. T, 2002 RockShox Psylo Race, Manitou Sherman, Manitou Nixon Bike Setup: 05' Kona Stinky, 66RC, Holzfeller, XT, D321/Mammoth rims, Marzocchi/Rolf hubs, Hayes
