$250.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Smooths out EVERYTHING, Takes drops well, Adjustments actually make a difference, looks the bizz, NOT TOO SOFT | | Weaknesses: | not very adjustable, have to ride it for a little bit to loosen it up (just a minute on the trail, nothing serious) | | Similar Products Used: | manitou sherman breakout +, manitou stance blunt (never buying manitou again) | | Bike Setup: | iron horse 7point3, 2006 Jr. T, 2006 DHX 3.0, FSA heatset, Huss stem, FUNN | | Bottom Line: | If you are on a budget of less than $500, buy this fork!! you will not be dissapointed. Once you get it broken in this is soo buttery smooth, it actually smooths the tar in the road. It doesn't dive in the corners or anything like that (i weigh about 160)
$250 for this? 5 chilis
I would like to be able to change compression... 4 chilis | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$410.00 | | Purchased At: | bluesky | | Strengths: | responsive rebound adjustment. bottomless feel but still plush. looks sweet. and i think a little more responsive than an 8 inch travel fork. integrated over size bar mount. | | Weaknesses: | can feel too plush at times. doesnt have the adjustabuility ov 200mm travel forks, only rebound and preload. | | Bike Setup: | devinci banzi w/ 06 marzocchi roco tst r. race face, halo, chris king/diatech. | | Bottom Line: | works great around town fr/dh. if ur on a budget and want an indestructable super reliable fork, youv found it.but if your pockets are deep and you spend more time flyin then peddalin just get a marzocchi 888 or a fox 40. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
