Submitted by ghislain berthelot a Downhiller from anglesey, UK
Date Reviewed: May 6, 2007
Favorite Trail:any going downards FAST!!!
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $200.00
Purchased At:ebay
Strengths:stiff, responsive, good weight
Weaknesses:what's weakness?
Similar Products Used:no USD. but, manitou black, sherman, flox vanilla RLC (130mm).
Bottom Line:I have been looking for this fork everywhere for over 3 years now, so when i found it on ebay i had to have it. Really, amazing, off the saddle climbing up or off the saddle hammering down and i don't really think about having a suspension up front. I possibly need to tweak it for my weight on small bumps, but for twisty gravelly / sandy fast paced single track this is awesome!!! So far i haven't experienced the dreaded "oil leak" but since it is a USD fork and it is oil based...Overall i am dead chuffed!!!
