a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: December 8, 2012 Strengths: It works. Weaknesses: My Jett C has about 4 centimetres of travel when I put all of my weight on it. On the jumps, it feels like a pogo stick. It's pretty heavy for something with almost no travel. I recently switched it out for 100mm on a Manitou R7 Pro. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Morses Pond Trail Duration Product Used: Two Years Purchased At: New Hampshire Similar Products Used: Rock Shox XC, Fox F100, Fox 36 Float Bike Setup: GT Rebound, Shimano drivetrain, Answer DH bars and stem, Alex rims and DT Swiss internals, Maxxis High Rollers, Pro Max brakes, Thomson and SDG saddle.

from Bethesda, MD Date Reviewed: February 15, 2004 Strengths: It's cheap, it gives 80MM of travel, it's low maintenance, has disc mounts. For some reason, this fork doesn't seem to bottom out harshly so you don't get jarred around. It is actually a nice aspect of the fork. Weaknesses: no adjusments, not that smooth, rebound feels like a pogo stick, Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: Hudson Trail Outfitters Similar Products Used: Rockshox Jett, Judy TT, Marzocchi DJ2, Manitou Six, Marzocchi Z.1 Bike Setup: '03 Bullit with 5th element and shiver.

from Perth Date Reviewed: April 9, 2003 Strengths: Maintenance free (practically), 'cept some greese and a dust off every now and then. Strong, good for beginners and ever intermediates (come on, we ALL wish we were pro's but do we all NEED the BEST stuff). Weaknesses: Looks crap, getting tired, needs upgrade (after 4 years though). Bottomed out for the first time the other day (on soft setting down stairs). No good for small bumps, feels like a stiff fork, until you hit a big bump. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Similar Products Used: 03 Pilot C Bike Setup: Trek 6000- stock but for the bars and pedals

from Fredericton, Canada Date Reviewed: August 7, 2002 Strengths: Decent travel (48 mm),for the price. Better than rigid forks. Good fork for beginners, fairly stiff. After two years of hard use they still work like new. Weaknesses: Bottoms out easily over curbs and small jumps if you weigh 150 pounds or more. I realise these aren't your ideal downhill racing shocks but bottoming on a curb for the heavier riders?
