Strengths: Smooth, long enough travel (130mm) for my needs, absorbs all types of bumps, easy set-up once you find the pressure that works for you, nice finish, light weight compared with some of the forks that I used before.Weaknesses: Lack of adjustments-this fork only has rebound adjust.Bottom Line: It is a fine stock fork. I'm not sure if I would buy the same if I'd have to, but I'm satisfied with it, given the fact that it came with the bike. It took me about 12-15 rides to find the right air pressure for the type of riding that I'm doing-lots of rock gardens and logs. Climbing is no issue either-unnoticeable pedal bob. I don't know its selling price, but I would pay $250-280 for a fork like this, if that's what I would have to buy.I think it is a good fork for aggressive XC or light to moderate AM. Took some jumps with it, but nothing big, mostly 1-2 feet.

Strengths: Feels stiff, easy to change travel (85-130mm) with the U-Turn knob, also easy to set rebound.Weaknesses: The fork is heavy (2150g), it makes an annoying sound when the fork "works hard".Bottom Line: If you want a sturdy fork that's not too expensive and you don't mind that it's a little bit on the heavy side and you cannot decide if you want just a little bit of travel (85mm) or maybe you want some more travel (130mm), than you should buy the U-Turn version of the Recon 327. It's easy to change the travel with the help of the U-Turn knob, it's done in a few seconds. I've set mine at 115mm.
If you want a lighter fork that you can tune a bit more, than I think you should look at the Reba's.
