Strengths: Great fork. Very durable and takes a beating. i was doin some DH and i broke my hand and had surgery but there was not a scratch on my bike or fork. looks great and is a trustworthy fork.
Weaknesses: comes with pretty plush springs. i weigh 220 and id bottom it out hela easy. i just bought firm springs for it though and those work great. if you're like me, you just need to search around for springs thatl work for you. Also, there are no adjustments so its pretty much springs all the way
Bottom Line:
GET IT (if you don't have enough money for a Fox 40

Strengths: good for the price, strong, looks cool
Weaknesses: bottoms out really easy, sucks up burms,
Bottom Line:
this for is cool for the price and i feel that how it comes stock i beats the boxxer, the fork works for hucks and down hill (real Down Hill. but its hard to get stiff springs for it. i way 205ibs so if you light u shouldnt have a problem
Strengths: great fork, reliable name, strong, sturdy, smooth, plush, dosent pack up, beefy, looks good to boot!
Weaknesses: pretty soft. no adjustments.
Bottom Line:
great fork, i thiuhgt it would be too soft for me but it quite nice, ive thrown a lot at it, and it seems to have taken it all, i rode whislter the other day and had absolutely no problems, its a great one!
Weaknesses: Stock springs are too soft for most riders.
Bottom Line:
Came on the bike. I am a set it and forget rider it so I dont need tonns of adjustments on my fork. I swapped out the stock springs for the green/"Heavy" ones and the fork is perfect. Maint with this fork is a snap, a yearly oil change and it will last a good while. If I do need to replace them they are not going to break my bank if I can find another set. The newer VF2 have some minor adjustments. All in all Marz 888 quality with a decent price. Just understand that the springs are real soft.
