from Vancouver, BC, Canada Date Reviewed: June 10, 2010 Strengths: I swear, this thing is forever. Weaknesses: the 9mm dropout version I have (and probably the qr20 version as well) is flexy compared to recent forks. Simple compression damper means that a definite compromise has to be made between small bump compliance and resistance to hard hits. stock springs certainly too soft for anyone pointing them downhill. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $300.00 Purchased At: second hand... only Similar Products Used: various single crown bombers from 1996 through to 2006. I rode a fox single crown once. Bike Setup: 2003 santa cruz superlight frame set up heavy to deal with the shore. 5 inch Z1cr with medium springs.

from Ogden, Utah Date Reviewed: September 22, 2000 Strengths: Stiff, plush, good looking fork. When you adjust the knobs you really feel a difference. Holds a line through anything and will make you downhill faster immediately. Weaknesses: Retail price. I was lucky I got a deal. A lot of people write about weight being a problem, but when I added the fork, I only increased by total bike/body weight by half of one percent (0.5%). When you look at it that way, the weight doesn't mean crap. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Skyline Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $360.00 Purchased At: Buddy Deal at a LBS Similar Products Used: SID XC, I guess it was light and plush (I couldn't tell the difference climbing), but the difference downhilling was like night and day. The SID XC has little control at technical high speeds (I believe this is refered to as flexiness). Bike Setup: 1999 GT XCR-1000, full XT
