$200.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Supper smooth, extremely light, cheap, good amount of travel | | Weaknesses: | Really can't think of any! the lockout lever appears to be slipping, but I rarely use it, and probably could be replaced cheaply | | Similar Products Used: | None yet, just bought Junior T's to replace as getting more into DH (on this bike), and my XC/Freeride bike is a PRST4 which has parallel forks with a Fox Shock on it | | Bike Setup: | EPX Terrashark Carbon frame, Manitou Metel rear shock, Sun MTX rims with Navegals, Avid brakes & SRam rear mech, E-Thirteen chain device, built as Freeride/Light DH | | Bottom Line: | These Forks are fantastic all rounders, 140mm travel Strong Smooth, excellent price and one of the lightest for the spec, I would be happy to recommend to anyone for "all Mountain" type riding | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$60.00 | | Purchased At: | craigslist | | Strengths: | Super plush, nice adjustability. Will roll over almost anything. All black is nice. | | Weaknesses: | Noisy | | Similar Products Used: | Bomber Z1 | | Bike Setup: | Giant VT One | | Bottom Line: | This is actually a review for the AM2. I bought this to replace an aging '01 Bomber (100mm). Swapped the Bomber plus $60 for this great looking fork. The AM2 130mm fits my frame nicely and feels a little more solid overall. I like the preload and rebound adjustments. Fork is pretty beefy and gave me the confidence to put a 180mm disc up front. Probably overkill but hey, why not? The only thing I don't like about it is that it clicks on small chatter bumps and front braking. Sounds like a loose headset, but I know that to be tight. Everything looked good when I installed this so I don't know what else it could be. Fork seems strong otherwise, I hope it's just a normal thing with these inexpensive Zokes. Overall, I got a smoking deal on this, and I'm happy with it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
