from Grand Island, NY, USA Date Reviewed: May 18, 2003 Strengths: Buttery smooth travel. I am a relivily big guy (6'1" 200lbs), and I do some dirt jumping, and that fork sucks up landings like crazy. Weaknesses: It sucks up pedaling power a little bit, but I am crazy, so it doesnt matter. Also it refuses to go out on dates with me, though I have tried, time and time again. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: That one with jumps Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $180.00 Purchased At: mtbr.com classifieds Bike Setup: Mr.T on a GT Outpost.

from krypton Date Reviewed: June 14, 2002 Strengths: very very plush that you will think that you could easily bottom it out but it will never bottom out. i thought the default spring was to soft for me but i was wrong its the way it works. eats anything on the ground. this is the plushiest fork i ever ride plushier than my 80cc honda mx stock fork. Weaknesses: there's a little amount of flex. yeah i know this is a double crown but believe me there is a flex! aside from that this rules!

from Lake City, NV Date Reviewed: August 30, 2000 Strengths: Relatively light, plush smooth action, very rigid and stiff especially with the 20mm axle. Easy to change oil, preload and rebound adjusters work well and have a wide range of adjustment. Disc/ v-brake compatability, seals have never leaked and everything stays tight. Weaknesses: The clamps that hold to the steerer tube and upper stanchions are pretty small (4.5mm), but I've never had a problem with them, stock springs may be a little soft if you are extra heavy but like I said the preload adjusters are great so they might take care of it. All in all a great fork!
