FrankieMTB Date Reviewed: May 21, 2012 Strengths: I'm a 190lb rider and the lockout has worked flawlessly for me. Fork has taken a beating and keeps on going. Great fork for a beginner that's new to the game of MTBing. It's cheap! Weaknesses: Weight. Can't figure out if I feel a difference changing the preload. Bottom Line:

from Australia Date Reviewed: June 1, 2011 Strengths: I am 220 pounds... I have flogged the nuts off my bike and the forks are still going strong. I really can't see the difference in quality between these and more expensive forks. If you want your bike to be 2 pounds lighter, just lose 2 pounds fatty, its takes a week max.

from Zagreb, Croatia Date Reviewed: August 16, 2009 Strengths: Cheap but when tuned and serviced proper, it gives a lot for what it's worth. Weaknesses: Preload adjustment does nothing. When you open your fork you can see why it does nothing - it just presses your spring for about an inch. It's not stiff, and it's heavy (2,5kg) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Medvednica Duration Product Used: 3 months Similar Products Used: RS SID, Reba, Revelation, Tora for a short period. Bike Setup: Genesis Impact frame, Juicy 3 (160mm rotor F/R), Mavic wheels, Deore/XT equipment
