from Sheffield, S.Yorkshire, UK Date Reviewed: August 23, 2002 Strengths: Build quality, bombproof seals. Great alternative to crap Rock Shock forks that I've had. Definitely Consider them if you're on a budget or don't destroy your bikes on 6 foot drop-offs, as they'll outshine any competition in their price range. Not enough travel for DH though. Weaknesses: None Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $120.00 Purchased At: From a mate Similar Products Used: RS IndySL, RS JudyXC, Manitou Xpert. Bike Setup: Marin Attack Trail, LX-componentry, Deore Discs.

from Nijgen, The Netherlands Date Reviewed: October 28, 2000 Strengths: Mine is the one with FirmTech, with 75mm stroke) which means that a pair of Magura HS-33 breakes are integrated with the forks lowers, posisioned behind the legs instead of in front of `m. Stiff construction, thus very precise steering, works well on any kind of bump. Easy to adjust,easy to maintain. Weaknesses: A bit heavy (party because the steerer tube is stiil chromoly), you cannot adjust the brakes height (in my case I have to shave a bit of the underside of the pads to make sure they only touch the brakingsurface of the rims), breakes not as powerfull as on a regular Quake C with brakeboosters. The difference is small though. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Rijk van Nijmegen Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $450.00 Purchased At: Fietssport Vincent Ede Similar Products Used: Marzocchi XC-R, "Specialized" Mag 21, Manitou SX "Twin Piston" Bike Setup: Specialized FSR-XC S-works `00, SRAM 9.0SL, Magura HS-33, Tune hubs, cranks, BB, handlebar and saddle, Bontrager Race Lite Rims, Sapim CX-Ray spokes.
