The paint chips very easily.

from Seattle, WA Date Reviewed: August 5, 2009 Strengths: Smooth, aesthetics, features Weaknesses: The biggest weakness about this fork is not the fork itself, but Fox's customer service. They are rude and provide little information. In addition, aside from changing the seals and oil, maintenance is difficult. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $400.00 Similar Products Used: Marzocchi, X-Fusion

from Escondido Date Reviewed: May 29, 2008 Strengths: No travel adjustment, comes with different rated springs, stiff, compression adjustment is great, has a smooth feel and lockout if needed on long fireroads. This is the lightest coil fork for the travel, close to the Fox air forks. Long term dependability, I have over 600 miles on this fork in AM type riding, no issues. Weaknesses: Switching the lockout with full finger gloves can move the compression setting.

from san jose, ca Date Reviewed: April 29, 2008 Strengths: Best XC freeride fork out there. super plush, stiff, adjustable, and light. this fork kicks a$$ over the float and talas in my opinion and it almost weighs the same. way better with a variety of terrain than the talas and float. sucks up small bumps with ease and large bumps also. very predictable fork. Weaknesses: may not be good for all riders. otherwise, no weaknesses. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: secret poaching trails Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: speedgoat.com Similar Products Used: rockshox sid, manitou minute, fox talas Bike Setup: santa cruz blt w/ fox rp23. xt build.
