Submitted by Whayne a from NY
Date Reviewed: March 24, 2006
Favorite Trail:diapers
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Strengths:Light
pretty stiff
hasnt blown up. yet
Weaknesses:springs are a bit soft out of the box
Similar Products Used:'04 dj2
Bike Setup:Specialized p3
Bottom Line:replaced dj2 with this to lighten it up.
huge difference in weight, but still feels solid.
springs are just s bit soft for me but Im used to DJ2. I weigh 170.

big upgrade. the front end feels soooo much lighter.
sacrificing a little bit of strength but the ability to bunnyhop 50% higher and manual well is worth it.
if youre sick of the heavy ass fork on your front end then ditch it and buy this.
