Strengths: Quick and easy set up. Rides like a dream once set up correctly. Looks awesome. Solid forks with no flex and will take anything you throw at them, within reason!Weaknesses: Nothing!Bottom Line: If you want a fork you can ride a bit of XC, Freeride, DH and All-Mountain with, then this is the perfect fork, but if you're only riding one discipline, buy a fork more suited to that one, apart from All-Mountain, this is THE fork for All-Mountain!

Strengths: Adjustability from 100mm-160mm. Good rebound control.Weaknesses: Have trouble getting it into the 100mm position from 160mm after a big downhill.Bottom Line: Great plush fork with adapability to all terrains. If you want an all-mountain fork than this is the one for you. Decent weight too.

Strengths: great fork super plush and the 90 degree adjustment makes it super easy to change travel great ramp upWeaknesses: i actually snapped the rebound cartridge in 2 wasnt super stoked to have this happen but fox is always great about that kind of stuff and replaced it for freeBottom Line: it rocks you can do everything on this fork you can go and climb the steepest trail and then go and hit the downhill trails not only that but its a great dj fork as well

Strengths: This fork is really stiff and plush. Looks cool too! 90 degree travel adjust is awesome.Weaknesses: Cost is high, but you tend to get what you pay for in my opinion. A quick release axle like the lyric and totem have would be great.Bottom Line: I love this fork. I bought it to make my bike better for the fast downhill sections and the small drops that I wanted to ride, but it even seems to have helped with my climbing. I love the 90 degree travel adjustment lever. Brilliant! I like the way the 36 mm stanchions look too.
Favorite Trail: National

Bike Setup: Santa Cruz heckler mostly raceface stuff and x0 parts. Hadley and king hubs with mavic 823 and 819 rims. 5th element rear shock for now.

Strengths: light,strong,plush, nice and easy wind down with the new 3 position 100-130-160.Weaknesses: the coating on the crown is lame- it just came off at the point of touch with the cables after a month or soBottom Line: well this is easy -this is , no dought, the nicest fork i could think of when riding an all mountain trail-you can use the 100 m"m and it works great , going down? open it in a second to 160 -works sweeettt.
all and all -im happy with the fork- love the service in israel -cant see what the heck the riders above are talking about-its all good!!!!

from boulder ,coloradoDate Reviewed: April 18, 2007
Strengths: Felt super smooth for the first few rides,extremely stiff and responsive, very plush at high speed small bump chatterWeaknesses: not exactly sure if it came broken and I did not notice at first but after one hard day in moab it has a serious topping out problem. very loud "ping" noise when riding in seated position and as soon as I leave the ground for a drop. Also feels to a little to soft in the final part of its travel. dumps a little too easyBottom Line: sending the fork in because all the ones ive ridden that work well feel so good. But does suck that after a few decent rides and one hard ride that I have to send it back. Can't wait to feel what this fork was intended to ride like.
Favorite Trail: cowboy up, whole enchilada

Strengths: Plush travel, Stiff, improvement in travel adjustmentsWeaknesses: The through axle's hex nut is easy to round off when trying to take it out . way too small a hole and the metal is too softBottom Line: It's a pretty good fork for riding aggressive. But rounding up the hex hole of the through axle pissed me off . I am happy with my purchase though . Speedgoat threw in a Chris King Headset , what a good deal ! added 30 bucks and they upgraded me to a steel version . With the 36 it Makes my bike feel like its really bomb proof.
