Date Reviewed: August 5, 2007

Strengths:    - lightweight
- good adjustability
- strong
- travel adjust is pretty cool
- looks really nice
- coil spring has a great feel


Weaknesses:    - too soft
- sometimes the travel doesn't stick to where i've put it


Bottom Line:   
This is a great fork. My only problem with it is that it's a bit too soft. I weigh 170 and bottom it a lot. I would recommend going up to the "extra firm" spring.

Other than that, it's a really good fork. The adjustability is really sweet and it's a Rock Shox... so you know it won't let you down!

Date Reviewed: July 9, 2007

Strengths:    very smooth, sucks things up, and can do it all.

Weaknesses:    the u-turn can have some problems.

Bottom Line:   
these are some good forks. they feel great, and i like that they have a lock out switch. but the second day i had my bike, i was messing with u-turn knob (on the top of mountain) and the sping popped out. i tried to put it back in. and if you get these forks and that happens to you, then DO NOT! press the lock out switch or that can really mess up your forks. but it is easy fork bike shops to fix it. but i would recommend these forks.

Strengths:    So sexxxy, strong and reasonably light, ajustability, lockout feature,Maxel, U-TURN AIR works amazing, Air instead of springs rocks.

Weaknesses:    The U-TURN nob dial up sometimes when you are riding but thats no big deal.

Strengths:    Absolutely everything you could wish for as far as adjustments go, which provides great flexibility when riding wether trail or street/dj

Weaknesses:    paint can scratch off easily (i hit a stray rock and it flew up and scratched some paint but really nothing major)

Bottom Line:   
amazing fork, can do just about anything but crazy downhill, i would highly reccomend it and i think im lucky to have such a nice fork. my fellow riders are very jealous, the fork is really an amazing component on my bike
