from Tulsa, OK Date Reviewed: July 7, 2006 Strengths: Solid, much better feel than any air fork I have have ridden in the past. Takes a big hit just fine. Weaknesses: Not enough suppleness in the first 2 inches of travel... cant seem to find that happy medium between nothing and too much. It's an air fork though. Would benefit from some compression and rebound dampening controls but for $230 I dont mind changing the oil around until I get what I want from it. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The goodones Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $230.00 Purchased At: Greenfish Similar Products Used: 97 Judy, 99 Judy, 99 Manitou SX, Manitou Black Comp 80/100, Manitou Black Elite 100/120, Manitou Axel 80. Bike Setup: Bike is an 02 Giant AC Air with many replaced/improved features... Fork came with 7.5wt oil in it. Not enough rebound dampening. I have since changed the oil to 10wt and it has improved. I'm going to ride it like this for a bit and them if its not enough I'm going up to 15wt. The positive sprin on this fork is tricky... you have to really play with the air settings in each leg as each leg gives a different feel.

Probably just bottomed them out but nothing a little more air in them cant fix(but im only 150 pounds) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: rollin thunder Similar Products Used: rock shocks pilot... and some other piles of something bad.

from Northford, CT Date Reviewed: March 27, 2006 Strengths: Beefy, Marzocchi quality, decent weight for the price & beefyness of the fork. Dual leg air adjustment with standard schrader valve. Reasonably low air preasure requirement lends to the reliability factor ~ 50lbs for a 200lb rider such as myself. Weaknesses: Fork came with wrong oil set up & needed oil tuning before it could be used (lacked sufficient rebound dampening & topped out violently just by pressing down & releasing). Works great now that the oil level is to spec. Owners manual has minimal useful info dispite being as thick as it is. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Tyler Mill Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $260.00 Purchased At: Blue Sky Cycling Similar Products Used: ~95 Rock Shock Mag 21, ~97 Judy, ~99 Manitou Mars (whimpy shock that ate through air seals like crazy even after beefyest springs installed, just needed too much air preasure, 02 Marzocchi MX Comp Bike Setup: Iron Horse Hollowpoint Team, Sun Single Track rims, XT, Hayes mechanical discs
