from NewYork Date Reviewed: March 22, 2001 Strengths: Looks hot, its black, good dampening, smooth and plush, pretty stiff side/side and front/back, fits small headtubes (mine), easy to take apart and rebuild, nice linear travel, doesnt bottem out (compression bumpers), its shiny and light... Weaknesses: lower legs scratch REALLY easily, very short upper tubes so its not good for bigger bikes, NO negative spring/travel, sinks into travel easily, not open oil, seals and wipers get screwed up fast, bolts strip and are too small/too few. hard to take springs out the first time, leaky damper adjuster, plastic adjuster knob, finish gets scratched easily. medium springs too light, even for average riders.

from Ft. Collins, CO Date Reviewed: April 25, 2000 Strengths: Squishy, cheap. Damping is effective. It looks pretty cool. Very strong fork, didn't fail when I stacked into a big rock at high speed. Weaknesses: Not stiff (stiff as in twisting/flexing) enough for a 190lb rider. Though the damping is good, the adjuster does nothing but look pretty and rotate. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: A-Trail Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: X-vert r, X-vert Ti. Tried a Boxxer once. Bike Setup: Bullit, DH stuff, Hayes brakes, the usual.

from Moscow Date Reviewed: February 1, 2000 Strengths: Good forks, plenty of travel, plush and look great (let's face it). Weaknesses: Even with my type of riding (no crazy downhills, etc), I managed to break the bolts out of the upper bracket. Had to buy a new bracket instead of rethreading the old one, and it is not cheap. If you have the same problem, get the top bracket from UD-180, fits perfectly and is way stronger (bigger bolts). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Similar Products Used: Marzocci Bomber-Z1 BAM, Rock-Shox forks Bike Setup: San-Andreas frame, UD-150 up front, Fox Vanilla R back, Hope disks, Tioga tires, XT, etc.
