Date Reviewed: August 17, 2003 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | super stiff, plush, cheap. soaks up everything, you can easily fit a 2.7 and still have tons of clearance. probably could put a 3" on there but I've never tried it. 36 mm stantions!!!!!!! | | Weaknesses: | I somehow blew the dampening system, its 80 bucks to replace it. stickers are just plain stupid looking so i took them off. but the lowers scratch really easy. | | Similar Products Used: | jr.t, shiver both dc and sc. '03 dj1, psylo, jett, prity much everything offered on giant and diamondback bikes | | Bike Setup: | identiti dr. jekyll, halo combat rims, diatech (they hooked me up), maxxis high rollers 2.5 and 2.7(sick) truvativ bars stem crank and chainguide and shimano deore | | Bottom Line: | this is an awesome fork for the money. its prity much the same buy as a jr.t or boxxer race, but a little less money 1 inch less travel and alot stiffer and more reliable than boxxer race. if you want to put a 6" travel fork on your hardtail or dual suspetion bike. this would be a great way to go. after a year of hardcore abuse, i've found that this holds up to almost anything. i busted my wrists last summer on a 10 foot to flat(that obviously i messed up on) and i'm working myself back up to big drops again. like 7' to flat and big gaps. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
