from abq nm Date Reviewed: December 15, 2003 Strengths: Lateral stiffness is awesome. Fork action is great, one of the best forks for riders over 160lbs. Mine is a 2001 model and doesn't need lockout, no bob while climbing. Coil spring action is primo and can be upgraded to 100mm travel. Highly recommended for low maintenance, no worries about performance and makes for a fine ride. Weaknesses: No on the fly travel adjustment. Slightly overweight, but you never know it unless you are crunching numbers on paper.

from Calgary Alberta Canada Date Reviewed: April 9, 2003 Strengths: The best fork I've ever owned. It seems easier to steer thru bumps and tight turns than any fork I've used in the past. It's ease of adjustment makes this possible. I find it very fluid like even when it's cranked up. Weaknesses: If you have the polished version like I have, sometimes the sun reflection burns holes in your're retna. Warning do not use this fork hungover.
