from Charlotte, NC, USA Date Reviewed: August 3, 2005 Strengths: Plush, strong, good looking, simple, coils, never bottoms for me. In this area you have rooty and rootier. Chose to buy a used Fisher with this fork over a new marin with Axel Elite. Wouldn't you know a $350 four year old fork out performed a new $100 fork. Weaknesses: If someone could write 105mm on it I would believe I had more travel and that ir was worth more. I don't believe they make this fork anymore. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: Came with used Fisher Sugar Similar Products Used: My friend's Fox Vanillla may be slightly more awesome but only slightly. Bike Setup: Gary Fisher Sugar 2, hydro disks, sram, isis crank, Fox Float, weak engine.

from Richmond,VA Date Reviewed: June 19, 2002 Strengths: This fork is nice and stiff- it tracks very well in turns. It is also VERY PLUSH! The quality is excellent. The adjustment knobs work very well- allowing you to dial it in just right. The 30mm stantions are strong. The "M" arch seems to do just fine. Weaknesses: The only thing I didn't like was strictly cosmetic. The decals are covered by a plastic protector cover- great! so I peeled them off and the decals look fine. At the bottom of the fork is the decal that says "Z2 Atom Race" so I went to peel of the protective plastic BUT Yikes! it was only a cheapo sticker! so thats my only problem. big deal. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Pocahontas state park Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $265.00 Purchased At: from larry at http://www.mtnhighcyclery.com Similar Products Used: 2001 Judy SL, canondale fatty, fatty sl air Bike Setup: I ride a 2000 Schwinn Rocket 88 - Stage 1.
