from Madison, Wisconsin Date Reviewed: January 22, 2002 Strengths: This fork is plush, stiff, and has sucked up just about every drop I've thrown at it so far. Aluminum preload, rebound, and ECC adjustment features are far more more durable, not to mention better looking, than plastic (Rock Shox and others). Legendary Zokes quality. Weaknesses: The springs are a little too plush for my taste, riding style and 180lb weight. Also, the confidence boost it provided has already earned me an ambulance ride, broken helmet and a concussion. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: any good drop Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $329.00 Purchased At: Supergo Bike Setup: Bump AP Blaster 16" frame, North Shore DH, Thompson seatpost, Azonic stem & bars, arch rivals, Cane Creek C-2, Ringle platforms, all XT with Rhyno Lite rims.
