from Seattle Date Reviewed: August 22, 2001 Strengths: Great for about eight months. Loved the adjustability. Looks cool. Sucked up big hits and 5 footers like a dream. Weaknesses: It broke. The left stanction came out of the crown while I was riding along and I got thrown off my bike (thank god no injuries). I wasn't THAT surprised, I mean its meant for xc riding and I was taking it off 5 foot drops. Leaked oil and was a little sticky after 8 months.

from Bracknell, Berkshire, England Date Reviewed: March 10, 2001 Strengths: Very smooth performance, low flex, reasonable travel, cool looks, quality of finish, easy to adjust (air pressure only)and above all they are slaughter the competition at the same price. Weaknesses: A bit on the heavy side - about 4.5 pounds. The 4 pounds quoted is for those with an alloy steerer but that isn't standard and yes it costs more. That said the weight doesn't matter with the way they perform - if you want light then pay $400 plus on another product. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anywhere with a view Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $140.00 Purchased At: Winstanley's, UK Similar Products Used: Rock shock Judy XC.

Buttery feel. Weaknesses: the only downside of this thing is that it flexes a little bit, but its not as bad as any rockshox fork.
