Strengths: strength and durability...i have done some hucks and pleanty downhill with these forks and what a set of forks they are! very strong for being QR infact one of the sturdiest set of forks i have used. the travel on them NEVER bottoms out no matter what your doing! oh and there fiarly light so quite versitile.Weaknesses: they do need serviced fairly regularly if your doing harsh riding but to be honest what forks dont!Bottom Line: excellent pair of forks! one of the cheapest pairs of tripples you will get and the value for money with them is outstanding as there near enough bomb proof! i would reccomend the 06 model though if the budget can stretch.

from Seattle, WADate Reviewed: December 23, 2003
Strengths: Cheap, Big travel, Good budget/beginner DH fork, Fills a nicheWeaknesses: SSVF really goes downhill on anything over 5"Bottom Line: Got it when I was getting into DH and didn't know any better. It does give you a lot of travel but the quality of the travel isn't very good. Simple damping system results in hydralic lockout or 'spiking' when too much oil tries to flow through very quickly. I'd take a 6" older SuperT any day over it, which is what I replaced it with after a few months.

Strengths: It works great with no hassles. Price is good as well as performance. Low maintenance.Weaknesses: I along with all of my friends had to change to heavier weight oil (10 weight instead of the stock 7.5) I also changed out the top set of springs to heavy ones. Now it works awesome! With zero preload it works great on the fast rough downhills and with about 7 turns of preload it is great for big hucks 6-8 ft. F.Y.I. I weigh 175 lbs. I was always bottoming out with the stock springs and oil. Even just on steep downhills when I was braking.Bottom Line: This fork works great and it is a great value. Make sure you check all the bolts on a regular basis!

Strengths: let me take a deep breath, as the list goes on. firstly i am at collage and so dont have a full time job, there for i struggle to fund mountain biking, and afford bikes which will cope with the abuse that i throw at them. my point being the price of these forks, i feel that these forks are soo smoothe and sooo plush for the money, they cope with the little and medium stuff with ease, and they still even love the big stuff. i feel that these forks "feel" as good as top end forks such as bokkers, shivvers e.t.c. thus making them extremely good value for money. finaly other people find they have alot of flex in them but mine are set at 6"/150mm of travel and i must say i have never noticed it. one more thing is the strength, whilst i have ha these i have broke a set of cranks, a seat, a stem, a bottom bracket, a collar bone,two wheels have been folded and two rear mechs have gone through the back wheel but the Jnr t's survive no matter what. (for example a near20 ft drop near where i live has cost many parts and injurys, but the forks live to tell the taleWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: This fork is the best
