Strengths:    Plush, soaks up little and big bumps alike. Very strong and rigid.

Weaknesses:    Sometimes, roo plush. Bottom out if your not careful. May be too rigid for weaker headtubes. After 8 months of riding everyother day, I started to see small cracks around the headtube.

Bottom Line:   
If your looking for a fork you can do anything with, here it is. A freeriders dream. Wether its agressive city riding and stairs or singletrack and downhill, this fork will do it all. I was over the idea of springs the moment I got it so I upgraded to the Total Air cartridges and haven't look back since. I am a heavier/stronger rider than most (200lbs.)and with the upgrade, I can adjust for any terrain I meet with a simple air pressure adjustment. Other than the stock internals, I love this fork and will keep it till it falls apart or I go for a longer travel fork (not soon though.).

Strengths:    
UMMMMM NONE!


Weaknesses:    
POS!!!!!!!
Not worth the box it came in. Shitty travel, bottoms out. Looks like crap


Bottom Line:   
Really bad fork, it was a piece of shit last yr and its still one this yr.I can't believe Rock Shox is still in business, their only good product is the BOXXER. You know why I must give it 1 flaming pile of shit, I'd give it zero but thats no an option, I think it should be Save ur money and get a ZOKE or an X-Vert R/T/DC

Strengths:    
ermm....... lightweight?
not too bad at suspending really


Weaknesses:    
if i blow another bloody cartridge, i am going to buy a gun. I shit you not they last less than two weeks each. on the plus side the small bump response is vastly improved by this. big hits are another story though


Bottom Line:   
don't buy these forks if you can afford jnr t. or alternative or unless you just like fixing things
