Strengths:    Very little flex, and strong.

Weaknesses:    It has springs. It's also designed for someone 120lbs or lighter, not 150-190lbs. I really hate messing around with the @&#$* springs, and I really hate the adjustability.

So, in order to increase the oil weight:
- $25 for new springs
- $10 for new oil
- $20 for labour

I really think the Mars is a much better fork, and I don't have to worry about changing everything out.


Bottom Line:   
This fork was not designed for me. So, I'm probably not the right person to judge. It's a stiff fork, but I really hate coil shocks.
