from Midwest RiderDate Reviewed: March 15, 2007
Strengths: Light weightWeaknesses: None so farBottom Line: I weigh 145 lbs. I don't feel the flex that everyone talks about (maybe I weigh to little). Shocks have not disappointed me at all. I've had shocks in the past that have just blown seals and had to ride back to the trail head compressed several times. I'm not an aggressive rider. I do like to go fast on downhills and through rock gardens (small compared to you mountain riders!), but we do have them here in the midwest :-)
We'll see how these shocks perform this upcoming season. I will probably go with these shocks again.

Strengths: relatively lightweight, very wide range of adjustability, poploc remote lockout is niceWeaknesses: msrp is a bit high, poploc does not have enough cable pull to adjust fork from full open to full lockoutBottom Line: i like this fork, particularly how adjustable it is. if you want plush, this fork can do it. if you race and need something a little more firm, you can have that too. the remote lockout is second nature after a few rides, and it really does help any time you need to hammer out of the saddle. some people say it's too flexy, but i haven't noticed it so far (i weigh 150 lbs w/ gear). to be fair though, i have not had any time off-road with beefier forks like the fox f80.
on the minus side, the retail price is too high i think. if you dig a little, there are some deals to be had.

Strengths: Low weight, good tact and very sensitive.
Easy to set-up.Weaknesses: Too Flexible for people over 75 Kg., they should use RS RebaBottom Line: Very good tact and very sensitive to the terrain if you set it up good.
Help you a lot when going up with the weight and the pop lock-out give you a incredible aceleration when you are going uphill or sprinting.
When going down you have to be a litle good, because the flexibility of the fork can give you some problems if you do a handle bad.
Try it, you will never forget it.
