Strengths:
Plush and responsive. 140mm is more than enough for my kind of riding. Deals with jumps and drops, rock gardens, roots and ruts well. Lockout for climbs.
Weaknesses:
Flexes a little but manageable.

spring plushnessss!

least bike sported a marzzochi bomber fork.
Bike Setup:
07 yeti 575
Bottom Line:
oooooh loving spring driven forks over air... Bike beats me up way less. Tire stays where it belongs, on the trail. Last fork owned was air and the progressive feel of air beat me up on the soupy stuff.
bike shop did not mention... by default ships with 180lb rated spring.. once i aquired the right spring it was heaven.
