from Wales Date Reviewed: May 25, 2002 Strengths: It can take quite a beating and is good on fast intermediate drops Weaknesses: No rebound adjustment makes it hard to ride anything big slowly as the spring back will throw you off if your not flowing through the drop at a fair speed (speaking from experience), also it's quite eratic in the air when you come of the lip of a jump the kick from the lockout can move you off balance Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: avalanch cup VTT (Morzine,france) Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: Evans, london Similar Products Used: none, used to ride hard tail and considering going back to one Bike Setup: Specializied A1 fsr comp with 4"bombers on the front hydrolic disks and riser bars
