from SLC UT Date Reviewed: September 8, 2001 Strengths: This is the strongest single crown you can get. Weaknesses: I am only dissapointed with this fork because everyone (Bike shops/reviewers) claim it's "So Burly". I ride a hard tail and after 3 months the stanction snapped, the spring shot into the air and missed my eye by about 2 inches. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Dirt jumps/Urban Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: Came on a P3 w/ heavier springs Similar Products Used: rock shock sid. Soon moving up to a short travel statos double clamp. Bike Setup: P3 stock except mavic 321 rims<-- very good investment.

from Warrensburg, Mo. USA Date Reviewed: January 8, 2001 Strengths: Looks Good, 105mm of travel Weaknesses: This fork has to be one of the worst forks that I have ever used. I can bottom this fork out on anything. I mean literally anything. I used this fork for the last half of circuit. I blew this fork in half. I was on the trail and the fork came apart. The male end of the stanction legs came out of the lower leg assembly, completely out. The only thing that saved my a## was the fact that I had not put my disk on the front yet. The cable housing on my v-brakes was too short for the front to fall completely off while I was in the air. THANK GOD! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anywhere! Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $275.00 Purchased At: Shop Similar Products Used: Answer (THE BOMB) EVERT-R dual crown TPC Trek Mogule (bad idea also) Bike Setup: 1998 FSR Elite-Large(red) Grip shift, teflon cables XT brakes, levers, cranks, BB, Super Shuttle chain, XT der's front and rear and an XT cassette. The suspension consists of the Answer (THE BOMB) XVERT-R on the front with the Fox Vanilla coil over in the rear. The wheels are: Spin on the front, very unforgiving, with the CrossMax on the rear. I run the VelociRaptor 2.1 on the Spin with matching VelociRaptor on the rear. Various other parts complete the bike.
