New 2002:
New designed oversized, ulstrastiff one piece magnesium sliders. DOUBLE bolted, service friendly hollow tech crown (cold forged). The already awesome stiffness of the fork (which is crucial with the disc brake use in mind) has been enhanced again. Both dropouts and disc brake fitting eyelets (IS compatible!) are equipped with magnesium corrosion protectors: maximum corrosion protection and lowest tolerances bring along perfect disc brake caliper alignment. Sliders with an integrated disc brake hose guide ensure a clean and esthetic hose routing.

Strengths: Stiff, light, airspring, "open" oilbath. Easy to adjust.
Weaknesses: Wrecked the damping once, descending a GR in France. The trail was not ment for bikes, but I did it anyway. Let the good times roll :) Because I live relatively close to the manufacturer, the repair was very quick and easy.
Bottom Line:
I sold the bike with this fork in it. I should have sold it with the Skareb from my new bike, en kept this one.
Bike Setup: Cannondale M900 wich was never ment to use a fork with 80mm travel. Still it worked out fine, although the steering was just a little on the slow side. Just a little, not realy a problem.
