Date Reviewed: June 28, 2008

Strengths:    they look decent, good resistance to bottoming out

Weaknesses:    they leak oil, dont work in rain for some reason, dont like the cold, handle like crap, heavy, dont even go down

Bottom Line:   
do not get them, for the first 2 months i thought maybe i didnt have forks and i just had a hunk of dog sh!t stuck to the front of my bike. They leak oil, they actually wont push down atm but im getting that fixed.

Date Reviewed: March 29, 2008

Strengths:    torsionally stiff,sucks up the rough,feels bottomless

Weaknesses:    pedals like a marshmallow,travel adjustment and rebound are ineffective,needs stiffer springs and cant find them

Bottom Line:   
great fork for aggressive riding and dropping but needs to be stiffer as you cannot jump this thing without a well set up take off,just soaks up the lip

Submitted by andy stat a Weekend Warrior from Severn, MD

Date Reviewed: August 10, 2007

Strengths:    Steering is responsive, amoun of travel, adjustable travel, adjustable rebound, 20mm axle

Weaknesses:    20mm axle attachement - a QR would be a nice feature due to how often I drive to ride, non-adjustable compression

Bottom Line:   
The Komodo is my first dirt/street/jump specific bike. The fork is great but it is too soft for someone like myself who is 200+ lbs. It soaks up hits well but gets bouncy when you start to hammer. It also dives when you're hard on the brakes. I'm not sure if it can be stiffened up; I hope it can since I don't want to swap forks.
