Strengths: Does what it is supposed to. irons out the bumps and softens the landing from jumps. Haven't experienced bottom out ever and no leaks or problems so far.Weaknesses: Adjustment could be a bit more precise but that's no biggieBottom Line: Great forks for the keen rider on a budget. Will tackle most intermediate terrain and out perform the average weekend warriors abilities. I have dropped in from 3+ feet and not experienced bottoming out or poor recoil. no leaks unlike zokes zones I had a few years back that lasted 2 rides before failing completely. Almost as good as Judy's but a fraction of the price.
Favorite Trail: summer lightning, surrey

Strengths: These forks came on the new diamondback outlook and overall i was very pleased as these are clearly the best forks for a cyclist in the 150-250 price bracketWeaknesses: May bottom-out on large drops but so far they havent and i have been off at least 4ft ramps and these have held upBottom Line: Excellent value for money and i great buy for a begginer/intermediate cyclist looking to take on tricky terrain

Strengths: Reliable thus far, and it's taken a beating. Works well for XC trails and moderate drops. Relatively smooth throughout the travel. Does the job, what can you say?Weaknesses: Bottoms out on bigger drops (I'm a big guy 200+lbs). Just 75mm of travel. Heavy, but so is my bike. I squeaked until I took it apart and cleaned it; since then, it's been all good.Bottom Line: My next bike will have a better fork, but this suntour has treated me well. You can do worse for $80.

Strengths: Strong, good travel, adjustableWeaknesses: weightBottom Line: The fork is a very good fork, it doesnt bottom out on me, I weigh 175, and have dropped some good distances with it. My only concern is the weight, it is a little heaveir than I would prefer. I would be using my rock shox carbon fiber fork, but it does not have disc brake mounts. It is definitely a great shock though, does the job well, there is very little torsional flex as well so steering is tight. All around great fork, if I was still racing, I wouldnt use it only because of the weight.

Strengths: Extremely strong, light, huge travel, air coil, suntour.Weaknesses: None!Bottom Line: I replaced my original fork on my Sunday, because I needed bigger travel for my big downhill race. I am so glad I did. This fork is a tank! I weight 213 pounds, but this thing held up perfectly! I was not worried the slightest when the 10 ft gravity drop approached. I flew, and them the guys told me I had won! Strong fork, light, and huge travel always wins. I am never replacing this thing!

Strengths: The shocks are very soft and comfortable, its good for only riding on the street. matches bikes colors and looks good kindaWeaknesses: Bottoms out too easily and way to soft for someone over 140. If you jump over a 1 foot thing it will bottom out. the adjustablity sucks too.Bottom Line: it sucks if u weight too much
Favorite Trail: most
