Strengths:    wont bottom out on anything under a 10' drop, can handle 30' tables no problem, relativley light. (the rebound adjustment on mine works great)

Weaknesses:    i havent really found any yet, and i have put these through hell and back, at least twice

Bottom Line:   
this forks can handle almost anything you throw at them, work great for a dirt jumper, or downhill...over all these things rock

Date Reviewed: August 6, 2008

Strengths:    The fork came on my Eastern, it was pretty smooth,20mm front axle,doesnt bottom out easy.

Weaknesses:    the rebound on the fork doesnt do to much when you adjust it. so pretty much more air you put in more rebound your getting.

Bottom Line:   
This fork did the job.i have jump 30 foot gap by 8 foot drop and it worked perfect.It does Dh well,i have raced dh and 4x on this work and never had to worry about anything.So if you are looking for a medium line fork that you want to hammer,then is fork is what your looking for.

Strengths:    very plush, not much for adjustability but what it has works just fine, I have worked it pretty hard and have not bottomed or had any complaints from it

Weaknesses:    none yet

Bottom Line:   
great ride for a lower end item plenty of travel for anyone unless you are crazy and like 10'+ drops to flat only thing I would do is put a lockout on it, but I beleive ALL suspension should have lock outs, so I am biased

Submitted by Francisco Gomez a Weekend Warrior from Santiago, Chile.

Date Reviewed: July 13, 2007

Strengths:    Took a ride for first time with my new fork past weekend. It is very light, very stiff and comfortable. I impressed myself the way i took the hills down, even got some congratulations by my weekend team partners. I didn't loose control neither on very technical nor very fast stages. In resume is a very good buy.
Cheap.


Weaknesses:    I don't believe that this is a weakness but initially it had a strange noise that disappeared later. Still has an oil squeeze noise, may be normal.

Bottom Line:   
Very impressed! Great buy for an normal freerider. If you want more travel you have to go for a 66 but think that is at least double price.

Strengths:    very light and yet so strong. very gd quality. lots of adjustibilty with an air pump.

Weaknesses:    small travel, but if u wanted more just get 66er's or sumthing.

Bottom Line:   
its a great fork u can use it for practically anything because it is so light. And with an air pump it can be really stiff or really soft depending on where ur riding or ur style. anyway the bottom line is it is very versatile and a quality build. Really anyone from a hardcore XCier or an ameuter downhill racer could get it.
