Strengths: Smooth as butter. Great looks.Weaknesses: Lack of adjustment, heavy, rebound seems slow no matter how much I play around with the damping.Bottom Line: These forks are better than what you'll find on any Supercycle or low end Iron Horse but they are definitely low end. Do not buy them as an upgrade because you'll wish you had spent a little more money and bought something a little better. I am going to upgrade to Fox F29 because they got more adjustment.

Strengths: Actually a really strong fork, iv'e used it for over a year and haven't had any problems with it. The preload adjust works well for what it is. Good travel for Dj's/Urban riding.Weaknesses: Could have a little more travel and adjustability.Bottom Line: Great bang for the buck if you buy them used, or if it comes with your bike. Easy and smooth, good 4-5 inch travel, pretty strong, can handle 5/6 foot drops and I weigh 175, not too bad. Great for some small to big Dj's and urban riding. Not recommended for and DH/Freeride. Great overall product.

Strengths: the fork is a lot more stiff that my previous forks (stance/exr)preload seemed to work well, isnt all floppy like some of marzocchi's forks.Weaknesses: stiffens up really quick in cold weather, and by stiff I mean the fork doesnt move. it came on a Kona shred that I had for a while. also its very heavy. maybe around 6 pounds ? has no controll and tops out makeing a harsh feeling.Bottom Line: if it comes on your bike, then great! but I wouldent reccomend actually purchaseing this fork for your bike. maybe if you saw it used for like 80 bucks then go for it, but its not worth more than that. dont bother selling it when you take it off your bike, keep it as its actually a pretty good back up fork.
