Looks sweet, Nice amount of travel, Adjustable is a +, First year of riding was smooth and the preload was fairly hard (couldn't bottom it out) Weaknesses: After 3 years of heavy abuse these forks are nearly cactus. I think that these forks were not meant for 6 foot + drops. Preload is too soft.

from Toronto, Canada Date Reviewed: June 12, 2002 Strengths: Good for city rider. Performance matches price... Don't expect any big air landings. Weaknesses: Crowns come loose very easily. After a bunny hop of a short downhill segment they require tightning... they always seem to come loose again. Excessive fore-aft freeplay! Not very much travel. Bottom out constantly. Always had problems with headset tightner... will not tighten enough and fork becomes loose until headset bearings fall out. Elastomer gets soft fast in hot weather...Acts like a rigid fork in cold weather (below 0 oC) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: one with tight corners and big drops Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Purchased At: came with bike Similar Products Used: Upgraded to Marzocchi Bomber Z1... cannot go back Bike Setup: Norco Sasquatch, 20T chainring for those steep hills

from Australia Date Reviewed: August 17, 2000 Strengths: This was a good fork to start off with. It was plush the adjusters worked there was minimal flex for its price range.The seals worked. GOOD FOR THE EASY-GOING RIDER, NOT FOR SEMI-SERIOUS PEOPLE. 75MM of travel Weaknesses: after three years the seals have busted allowing dirt to enter the fork. There is soo much flex I can move my bike approx 5cm forward and backewards. the stanchion-crown connection has become loose on one side.A real PROBLEM EVERY 6 MONTHS I HAVE TO REPLACE THE PART INSIDE THE FORK THAT KEEPS IT TOGETHER - NOT VERY GOOD IT FALLING APART WHEN YOUR JUMPING. Because my seals busted , and i can't get any replacements for fork, so has excessive wear, so now its stuffed. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The Back Park Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $150.00 Purchased At: A bikeshop Similar Products Used: Z4's Bike Setup: A small crappy trials bike AceraX Rear mech tektro V's answer downhill bars a whole lot of crap
