from Victoria, Canada (across from Vancouver) Date Reviewed: November 29, 2001 Strengths: Plush (for a 2.5 inch travel fork), work great (I was hucking 7 steps and dropping 3 feet to flat with these on a hardtail - not bad forks!) They are nice forks - short travel wasn't a problem. Weaknesses: They were a great fork till I CRACKED BOTH STANCHION tubes at the crown!! Scared the hell out of me - they didn't snap, they cracked - I thought I blew the seals so I stopped riding them.. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Urban Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $150.00 Similar Products Used: Marzocchi XC-R fork, 7" BoXXer, Jr. Ts and now rigid fork.

from New Hampshire Date Reviewed: November 14, 2000 Strengths: Non nonsense design, great price (I got it a bit used), strong and stiff, good dampening, plush springs, doesn't bottom easily (stock springs were just right for me , 170 pounds). Weaknesses: Weight maybe, 3.9 pounds, not really bad for a coil forks that works this well at this price. 70 mm travel, but who really needs more on a XC hardtail? No boots, also not really a problem if you clean and service it every year or so.
