from Northshore Vancouver Date Reviewed: October 10, 2000 Strengths: This product is the best fork I have ever ridden on. I considered many other forks before i came to the final decision of the indy s. It makes no difference to me that only one side of the fork has a shock in it. I contemplated for a while, then soon realised that my Monster t's had to go, and i strapped this baby onto my brand new 2000 RM9 team issue. Weaknesses: ABSOLUTELY NONE Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: any crazy DH stuff Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: supergo Similar Products Used: Monster T, x-vert carbon DH, Boxxer, ZZYZX, JR.T Bike Setup: full SRAM 9.0 and race face Dh stuff.
