from Philippines Date Reviewed: July 29, 2007 Strengths: Very responsive and plush, It keeps me planted well, and can hold its own on drops, stair gaps, and is bulletproof. Weaknesses: Graphics look tacky. A simple "Bomber" decal ala 2003-2004 Marzos would suffice. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: Hand Me Down Similar Products Used: Tried a SR Suntour fork for a short while, then had this.

from Needham, MA, USA Date Reviewed: April 21, 2007 Strengths: Will not bottom out, Incredibly well-damped, plush, and responds to the slightest movements on the ground below it whether it be a pebble, or boulder! Weaknesses: After all these ears, it has about 3-5mm of sag, even without a rider. The dual preload adjusters set all the way down don't do much else either. I'm sure a fresh set of springs will fix it though! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Hudson park Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $150.00 Purchased At: From friend who beat on it daily Similar Products Used: I work at a bike store....I see and try a LOT of different forks.

from victoria, British Columbia Date Reviewed: June 21, 2003 Strengths: price, strength, durability, takes big hits well, good seals and bushings Weaknesses: none really, could have more external damping options but at this price that is asking a lot. Perhaps small bump compliance could be better, but that may improve as the bushings wear in.

Weaknesses: none, except maybe that the stock springs were just way too soft so I kept bottoming out the babe. I had new green 100mm ones installed to solve the problem. No problem ever since.

from Vancouver, BC, Canada Date Reviewed: August 23, 2002 Strengths: I've been reading some of the other reviews, and I have reached certain conclusions. Given that a) Your weight falls within healthy ranges as outlined by various medical organisations, b)You do not assume that the name "Dirt Jumper" entitles you to exceed the structural limitations of a medium-travel singlecrown fork, i.e. landing backwards halfway down 14-sets, taking 55-foot cliff drops, etc, and c) You realize that for $339 Canadian a fork should not have to nake up for your inherent lack of skill and/or natural shock absorbtion capacity (you guys riding duallies on blue trails, you do realize there's a reason we ride bikes and not motorcycles, right?), given that you recognize the three points above, these shocks should absolutely kick ass for you. And if I could italicize 'kick ass', I would. I've been riding them on the four-inch setting up seymour and fromme on a hardtail and have had no problems at all so far. Ever so plush, lightweight (as far as bombers go), good climbing, stiff, strong, and did I mention they look great? I mean, I have a bit of an issue with heavy-metal culture but if they're called dirt jumpers they might as well have heavy-metal lettering. Although, as my metallica-loving, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, etc. worshipping, mullet-clad, bass-playing friend mused, 'it could be heavier'. This is the guy who, upon seeing my new hayes discs went "aw, cool!" and grabbed the rotor with his greasy little fingers. Oh well. He's a good fellow. So what was I saying? Oh yeah, these shocks are bomber-liscious. Gettim. Weaknesses: None so far. I had them set too squishy though at first and they nearly bottomed, but they're great so far. I've taken some really hard falls, too, and they've held up great. So no weaknesses. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: road to avonlea Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $339.00 Purchased At: Cove bike shop Similar Products Used: Atom 80s, Judys, Manitou SXs, cross-country forks basically. The Atom 80s are actually really nice if you like that type of riding. Bike Setup: A black hardtail with black parts and now black shocks too. (i mean, who cares?)
