from Sandy, Oregon Date Reviewed: August 8, 2009 Strengths: Very strong for what it is intended to do, all mountain and light free ride. It is super easy to convert to dual air, just take the spring out. The fork is fairly compliant on small stuff and does well on the big hits. I have taken it off plenty of drops taller than I am with no complaints. If the oil level is too low it will top and bottom out very hard. With the right amount of oil it performs very well. Weaknesses: Not super stiff. There is some flex to it, but not a ton. It is loud. There is a plastic ring inside that moves up and down to allow the compression and rebound damping to be different. You can hear this click every time it moves. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: anything with my friends Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $150.00 Purchased At: wheelworld.com Similar Products Used: I have ridden most types of forks. Bike Setup: All mountain / freeride hardtail. I can only afford one bike at a time and I use if for everything from XC to freeride.

from Santa Cruz Date Reviewed: February 20, 2009 Strengths: Looks cool,130mm travel,air preload can make it as stiff as you want. Rebound really help on trails and jumps. Its also half coil which makes it feel much better than just air. Weaknesses: Says its 2302 grams (about 5 lbs) on website, but weighs 7 lbs on my scale(it could be wrong, its really old).Makes a squishy sound when being compressed.Internal rebound adjuster, which means you have to take apart the right side of fork to adjust it. But who really cares it works fine and got I it at an aswome price. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: polo grounds Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $80.00 Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: 2007 Marzocchi DJ 3, 2006 Marzocchi drop off SL Bike Setup: Gary Fisher Opie, Rhino Lite rims, Hussefelt cranks with Howitzer bb, Specialized Demo Bars,maxxis High Rollers,Sram X.7 rear and 2009 Sram X.4 shifters and going to get avid juicy 3 brakes.

from Austin, Texas USA Date Reviewed: May 22, 2008 Strengths: Long effective travel, Can be abused at will. Air spring (and preload) can adjust to any riders weight and riding style. This is one bad ass fork...and using it lightly is a waste of this fork's abilities and design. I did not have to go out and add 60 bucks to the cost because the spring was too weak. Weaknesses: Th internal rebound adjustment is confusing at first, and MUST be adjusted to stop any top-out noises + tame the 150mm rebound.

from wilmington NC New Hanover County Date Reviewed: October 6, 2007 Strengths: 150mm travel, 20mm thru axle, air/coil, air preload. not very heavy for a Freeride fork. Weaknesses: this fork only has internal rebound. but once i set it up it was great. the top out "clack" went away when rebound was right. Marz. air levels are too high for me. had to toy with it till it was right. once it is set up for a good stiff Freeride setting, too stiff for trail riding, but my bike is too heavy for singletrack riding anyway. would rather hit stunts and go down hill Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Blue Clay @wilmington NC Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $270.00 Purchased At: wheelworld.com Similar Products Used: Marzocchi Z1, Manitou Nixon, dropoff 2 Bike Setup: Haro X7, Dropoff 4 fork, manitou Metel coil rear shock, Hayes So1e 8inch disc, stock wheels bars stem and crancks, Panaracer FIRE FR 2.4
